BAGGAGE SHIPPING

As one of Sri Lanka’s independent baggage shipping company, Forward Logistics has the skills and experience to forward your belongings safely and securely to almost anywhere in the world. Established 10 years ago, our service covers 300 countries and territories using air freight, sea freight and road freight to deliver in more than 25,000 destinations. All your baggage shipping requirements are handled smoothly and efficiently from collection, freighting and documentation to customs clearance and delivery.

At Forward Logistics, you can choose to send your belongings by sea or air, and in the case of some European destinations, by road. Under some circumstances it is more cost-effective to use air freight, even for large quantities. Sea freight and road freight charges are determined by volume (the space taken up by the baggage you are shipping), while air freight rates are based on size or weight, whichever is the greater.

DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE
Forward Logistics handles everything for you from the time we collect your baggage to its arrival at your chosen destination. Our charges include customs clearance, terminal fees, and local delivery costs to shipping addresses in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Where they are applicable, quarantine clearance or customs inspection charges, customs duties and taxes are not included. Our door to door rates apply to a wide selection of destinations worldwide.

Our door to port baggage shipping service allows you to collect your shipment on its arrival at the destination terminal. In most cases, as the owner/sender, you will need to collect the baggage personally, clear it through customs and settle any terminal charges, customs duty, local tax or wharfage fees – including, where applicable, New Zealand/Australia quarantine fees.

TRANSIT MODES
Which Forward Logistics transit mode should you choose when sending your belongings overseas – air freight, sea freight or road freight? Well, the main considerations are always urgency, destination and budget.

AIR FREIGHT
Air freight is by far the fastest and most convenient – but costs rather more than the other modes. With air freight you can leave everything in Forward Logistics experienced hands, avoid disruptions to work or holidays, and save on expensive airport hotel bills and travel costs. Forward Logistics air freight rates are unbeatable, our network of airport offices unrivaled: choose from our full Door to Door or economical Door to Destination Airport services. Remember that for some destinations it may cost you less to use air freight – even for larger quantities.

SEA FREIGHT
Sea freight is the cost-effective way to send your baggage. However, in comparison with air freight it is somewhat slow – so be sure to allow plenty of time for delivery. And when you choose a sea freight company, be certain it’s Forward Logistics – because our carriers are the most reputable and reliable, offering regular sailings to numerous destinations worldwide. Rest assured that security is our top priority. Your possessions will travel in a strong, sealed shipping container, and can be covered throughout the journey by a comprehensive Shipment Protection policy.

ROAD FREIGHT
For European destinations Forward Logistics can send your possessions by secure road freight. With regular deliveries to over 74 European hubs using a reliable network of 39 independent partners in 30 European countries, road freight is a fast, flexible and reliable way to transport your goods, belongings or unaccompanied baggage. All of our road freight consignments are closely managed from booking to delivery via our sophisticated IT systems so you can be sure that your possessions will be delivered safely.
