Pack
At London Baggage we believe in self pack, you know best how to set your own things, but we give you the means to do so: hardened cardboard boxes.
London Baggage can also pack for you if you need so; we will pack your things, as an extra fee. You can also use your own boxes, but be sure that they are hardened cardboard boxes as ours and that they are in good condition... (to know more about Packing, click on the links below).

Sea Transit times vary greatly according to destination and routing, but for intercontinental sea shipping allow 8-12 weeks

Our state-of-the-art SQL computer system gives full details on the status of all shipments in transit and incorporates the latest information as soon as it is available to us. If you prefer we can also give you that information by phone, fax or email.
