Typically, unaccompanied personal effects include items such as clothing, toiletries, sports equipment, musical instruments and books. Prohibited or restricted items vary according to the transport company. It is recommended that you consult us to find out what restrictions apply to your belongings.
Prohibited or restricted items can include dangerous objects, illegal substances, perishable goods, weapons, etc. It is vital that you allow us to thoroughly check the shipping company’s policies on your behalf.
Costs depend on weight, volume, destination, transport company and additional services required. We recommend that you submit a request for a detailed quote prior to shipment.
To calculate the volume of a box in cubic centimetres (cm³), use the following formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Make sure you measure the length, width and height of the box in centimetres. Next, multiply these three sides together to obtain the volume in cubic centimetres.
For example, if the length of the box is 10 cm, the width is 5 cm and the height is 8 cm, the calculation is as follows:
Volume = 10 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm = 400 cm3
So here, the volume of the box is 400 cm3.
It is recommended that you use appropriate packing materials, such as sturdy boxes, bubble wrap and adhesive tape. It is also important to protect fragile items adequately. However, some fragile items should not be transported as personal effects given the handling chain involved. Please consult our experts before departure.
Some transport companies have insurance to cover loss or damage during transit. We recommend that you take out appropriate insurance for additional protection.
Most transport companies provide a tracking number for shippers to follow the location of their personal effects during transit. This number can be checked online or via our customer service department.
