Place your items to be shipped in suitable packaging such as a locked suitcase, hard-case, cardboard boxes or a shipping barrel. The fewer boxes you have to ship the lower the cost, so fit everything you can into as few packages as possible. For breakable items, use packing peanuts or bubble wrap and mark "Fragile" clearly on the outside of the box.
Visit one of the luggage freight shipping companies online. These companies ship freight materials, including luggage, to destinations around the globe by air, land or sea. Sea is typically the cheapest option but is also the slowest. Expect to wait up to four weeks for delivery, so send your luggage well ahead of the time you will need it.
Compare rates between online shipping agents and select the one that works best for you. All companies do not ship to the same destinations so find one that will get your luggage where you need it.
Arrange to pick up your luggage at your home or office. The shipping company will come to get it and give you the option of dropping it off at the port of your choice. As part of the service, the port will hold the luggage until you come to get it. If you prefer, you can have your luggage dropped off at an address for an additional fee.
