PACKING INSTRUCTIONS

How to pack your suitcase for shipping with UPS

For better protection of your suitcase and its content, we recommend packing your item appropriately, as described below:

Pack your items inside the luggage safely so that they will not be moving during transit.
Put the suitcase inside a cardboard box.
Close and seal the box with strong tape.

UPS Luggage box – how does it work

Besides offering luggage shipping solutions, UPS also offers a cardboard box named “luggage shipping box”. You can use this box to either pack your goods directly or pack the suitcase itself. Since it is made with resistant material and optimised dimensions, many customers use UPS Luggage Box to pack their personal belongings for shipping or send as checked baggage when flying.

UPS luggage boxes come in two possible dimensions, as described below:

Type	Size	Max weight
Small luggage box	56 x 35 x 23 cm	25 kg
Large luggage box	66 x 40 x 30 cm	25 kg (or 38 kg with tape)

*Sizes and weight are converted from the imperial measuring system.

FAQ – International luggage shipping with UPS

How much does it cost to ship a suitcase with UPS?

Can I send a suitcase with UPS without packing it into a box?

When shipping suitcases without outer packaging, the suitcase is considered the packaging material and is, by default, not protected by insurance. For this reason, it is strongly recommended not to send a suitcase without packaging, either with UPS or any other courier company.

Does UPS luggage shipping include transport insurance?

Yes, UPS offers shipping insurance when sending suitcases locally or abroad, which is typically included in the price. However, the insurance value may vary depending on the service selected and the local policies of the branch you used to make your purchase.

When shipping luggage with UPS, do I have to bring the suitcase to a store?

It depends on the selection you made during the booking process. Some UPS suitcase shipping services already include home pick-up and delivery, but others require the customers to drop off the item at a local store. We recommend paying careful attention to the service details when shipping your luggage with UPS to avoid any confusion.
