What's the best way to send excess luggage back to the UK?

[Gazajlill]

Hi
We are wanting to send a large suitcase full of clothes etc back to uk and was wondering if anyone could tell us easiest and cheapest way to do it as we allready have our quota for the plane allowance??
Any help would be great ta as we are having to return suddenly.

[stugga]

best bet would be via courier, someone who has a business contract with a courier in tenerife may be able to offer support

Courier is in my experience very expensive
You can try shipping
We work with Rehnus T-Tráns and they are reasonable

[slodgedad]

Why not ask if anyone is sending a shipment to the UK with some space available?

courier is only expensive if you don't have an account, which is whi i said though a business or regular user would be a good option. can't see it being mor than £40 through a courier economy.

its about what you would pay for baggage on a flight.


maybe one of the forum members has an account with DHL, fedex , UPS or TNT who can help.

Ryan Air charge a massive rip off amount of £20 per kilo excess baggage

If you use a freight forwarding company such as Fast Lane http://www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk

they are much cheaper as they buy large amounts of space with companies such as TNT and DHL at a discounted rate and then sell the space on to Joe Public

I did a quick calculation and a large Samsonite Suitcase weighing 20 Kg's measuring 22.8 x 14.2 x 33.9 inch door to door pick up and delivery from Tenerife to London will cost £83 saving a whopping £317
