Sea Freight
Excess Baggage by Sea Freight
Sea groupage for larger volumes of luggage and personal effects, charged by the cubic metre.
How It Works
Cheaper for Larger Volumes
With sea groupage, your boxes share a container with other shipments, so you only pay for the space you use, with a minimum charge.
It takes longer than air, so it suits belongings you can do without for several weeks or more.
