What Is Excess Baggage Shipping?
Simply put, an excess baggage courier service is a specialized logistics solution for personal belongings that exceed your airline’s free weight allowance. Most travelers face exorbitant per-kilogram penalties at the airport; we provide a smarter alternative by shipping your items as “unaccompanied baggage.”
- Avoid rigid airline weight limits: Don’t leave essentials behind.
- Save Money: Significant cost reductions compared to “extra bag” fees at the gate.
- Versatile Shipping: We move suitcases, heavy boxes, and oversized cartons with ease.
This service is segmented specifically to help Students moving for university, NRIs and professionals relocating for work, Families sending personal effects, and even Small Sellers managing niche exports.
Who Should Consider It?
If you are looking for a way to simplify your international move, our excess luggage shipping is ideal for:
- Students Abroad: Ship your textbooks, winter clothing, and dorm essentials well before your flight.
- Expats & Professionals: Relocate your household goods and personal memories without airport logistics.
- Families in India: Send heavy gifts, traditional kitchenware, or festive items to loved ones overseas.
- E-commerce Sellers: Manage small cargo exports cost-efficiently using our personal shipping networks.

Compare Costs: Airlines vs. Excess Baggage Shipping
When you weigh your options, the choice becomes clear. Airlines are designed for passengers, not heavy cargo.
Airlines often involve:
- Strict, low weight limits and unpredictable “gate fees.”
- The physical burden of dropping off heavy bags at the airport terminal.
- High costs for even a few extra kilograms.
AirShippers Shipping offers:
- Transparent, upfront quotes that are much lower than airline rates.
- Comfortable doorstep pickup from your home.
- Bulk and cargo advantages that make heavy shipments affordable.
