Shipping luggage from Tenerife to the UK?

[nigelmercier]

I've got a number of items on my boat that I want to take back to the UK. I've been taking a few back with each trip, but I need to get a move on.

Can anyone suggest how best to ship a few boxes, bags or cases back to the UK?

British Airways now going to Gatwick from TFS. 23kg check in free, food free, drinks free, seat choice free. Flights sometimes less than £100. Blimey, just like the old days. :laugh:

BA have been a bit naughty, Main site says eurotraveller has the allowance. And at first glance it looks as though the first bag is free, It Isn't. Below is their pre travel email. So be careful when you book!!



Hand baggage only fare


You have purchased a hand baggage only fare.
If you change your mind and need to take extra bags, you can pay for extra checked bags on ba.com and save money.

Please post the option you work out to be the best I need to send my (ex) wife's stuff back too, and I just don't think I can be bothered taking it back one bag at a time.

I was thinking more in terms of a company that will ship the items. I've already booked my next flight, so I can't take any more on my return.

I managed to get it all back, booked a "Sports Equipment" bag each. Came home with over 90kg of boat bits!
