britsabroad2013 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 We are moving back to the UK and have booked a large move cube for our belongings. I am looking at shipping one large packing box via airfreight with the personal belongings for my son. He has jumper thing he loves to bounce in and it's an absolute lifesaver when I need to get stuff round the house. I've had a look into buying this again in the uk and it's pretty expensive. I'm thinking of shipping it in a large box and also taking some more of his toys back as the cube won't arrive for three months. Can anyone recommend a cheap company that can ship just one box? Seven seas have a two box minimum and it's $1,500 which is pricy. Any recommendations and costs that you might know of would be muchly appreciated!

evets Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Maybe have a look at: https://www.sendmybag.com/ When I went back to the UK a couple of years ago and sent a 16kg bag back to Oz, door to door cost around $300. I believe they measure by the volume of the package. Worth a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Any excess baggage company will probably carry it for you. Shop around and see what prices and reviews come back. It could be the cost of shipping it will be about the same or perhaps only a little less than buying it new over there. If so I'd buy once there and save the hassle of shipping if it were me. If its a lot cheaper, then ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieGirl Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Try the courier companies like DHL also ring the airline you are travelling with and ask them, some allow you to send a bit extra as cargo, not necessarily on the same flight but within a day or so at a reasonable cost.
