With door to door collection and delivery, full tracking and competitive pricing, you can ship your belongings separately and travel without the stress of carrying multiple heavy suitcases through airports.

Many customers use our service to send personal belongings ahead of their arrival, making international travel simpler and far more comfortable.

Why ship to Asia with Send My Bag

Asia is home to some of the world’s fastest growing business centres, international universities and global cities. Professionals relocate to financial hubs, students move abroad for study, and travellers often spend extended periods working or exploring the region.

Taking everything with you on a flight is rarely practical. Airline baggage allowances can be restrictive and excess baggage charges quickly add up.

By shipping your luggage ahead of time, you can travel lighter and avoid the hassle of managing multiple cases during long haul journeys. We collect directly from your home and deliver to your destination address, helping you focus on the move itself rather than the logistics of getting your belongings there.

Popular destinations in Asia

While Asia is a vast region, there are several destinations that regularly see international relocations, study placements and long term stays.

Shipping to Singapore

Singapore is one of the most common destinations in Asia for international professionals. As a global financial centre with a large expat community, many people relocate here for work or long term contracts.

Sending luggage ahead of your flight allows you to arrive with just your essentials while your clothing, books and personal items travel separately. Door to door delivery makes settling into new accommodation far easier.

Shipping to Japan

Japan attracts both students and professionals, particularly in cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Many customers choose to send suitcases or boxes ahead before beginning work placements, language courses or university programmes.

Shipping separately helps avoid airline weight limits, particularly when travelling with books, clothing and personal belongings needed for longer stays.

Shipping to Hong Kong

Hong Kong remains an important international hub for finance, trade and education. Relocations to the city are common, particularly from the United Kingdom and other English speaking countries.

Sending luggage ahead of time allows you to move around the airport and the city much more easily when you first arrive.

Shipping to the United Arab Emirates

Although geographically between Europe and Asia, the United Arab Emirates is another destination frequently chosen for international work placements and relocations.

Cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi attract professionals across many industries. Shipping your belongings ahead can simplify the move and reduce the need to travel with multiple heavy suitcases.

Relocating to Asia

Relocating to Asia requires careful planning. From arranging accommodation to understanding local documentation requirements, there are several things to prepare before travelling.

Many customers choose to send clothing, personal items and everyday essentials ahead so they are waiting at the destination address. This allows you to travel comfortably and focus on settling into your new surroundings.

For larger moves, it can also help to review guidance on preparing items for international shipping, including how to pack belongings securely and organise the correct paperwork for customs.

Unaccompanied baggage to Asia

Unaccompanied baggage simply means your luggage travels separately from you.

This is often the most practical and cost effective way to send personal belongings internationally. Instead of paying airline excess baggage charges, you ship your items directly from your home to your destination.

Many customers use this service when relocating, studying abroad or travelling long term. Suitcases, boxes and other personal effects can all be shipped as unaccompanied baggage, allowing you to travel light.

Sending parcels to Asia

Not every shipment involves multiple suitcases. Sometimes you simply need to send a parcel, documents or a small package overseas.

In these situations, international parcel shipping can be a convenient alternative to traditional postal services. Courier collection provides door to door delivery along with clear tracking, giving you visibility from collection through to arrival.

For smaller shipments, this can be a fast and reliable way to send important items internationally.

How the shipping process works

Booking your shipment takes just a few minutes online.

Start by getting a quote and entering your collection and delivery addresses. Choose a collection date that fits around your travel plans and prepare your luggage or boxes securely.

Once everything is ready, we collect directly from your chosen address. You can then track your shipment throughout its journey until it reaches its final destination.

If you have any questions during the process, our baggage shipping frequently asked questions can help provide quick answers and useful guidance.

Customs and documentation when shipping to Asia

Customs procedures vary between countries across Asia, so it is important to prepare documentation carefully.

When sending personal belongings internationally, you may need to complete a customs declaration and provide a list of the items inside your shipment. Accurate descriptions and valuations help reduce the likelihood of delays during customs clearance.

Understanding local customs rules before shipping can help ensure your belongings arrive smoothly.

Comparing shipping with airline baggage fees

Airline baggage allowances are often limited, particularly on long haul flights. Once you exceed the permitted weight or number of bags, excess baggage charges can become very expensive.

By shipping luggage separately, many travellers find they gain clearer pricing and avoid the stress of carrying multiple heavy suitcases through airports and connecting flights.

For longer stays or relocations, sending belongings ahead is often the more practical option.
