Choosing a low-cost airline is a good option when travelling on a budget. However, the costs can significantly increase if you have many items that you want to take with you. The fees for extra-baggage, for oversized or overweight baggage, can add up quickly and turn a cheap flight ticket into a serious expense.
Eurosender provides an alternative by offering access to affordable shipping services.

The services are dedicated to people who go on business trips, study abroad or simply go on vacation.
