Baggage Shipping to Switzerland: Reliable, Efficient and Affordable Options

Are you moving to Switzerland for work, to study or a new life? Shipping your luggage and boxes is a great way to make your relocation easier.

By shipping your belongings, you can rest assured that everything will arrive safely at your new Swiss home, giving you more time to enjoy your new surroundings.

Why Choose Anglo Pacific for Your Baggage Shipping to Switzerland?

Shipping your luggage and boxes to Switzerland instead of taking them in the plane is a great idea for several reasons:

  • Avoid Excess Baggage Charges: Airlines charge extremely high fees for excess luggage, especially if you have large or heavy items. Shipping your belongings saves you from these additional costs, giving you more money in your pocket.
  • Avoid Airport Hassle: Busy airports like Zurich or Geneva can be overwhelming, especially when you have large or heavy luggage to drag through the terminals. Shipping your items means you don’t have to worry about lugging them through crowded airports or dealing with customs at the airport.

Safe and Reliable Delivery: Our service ensures your luggage, boxes and belongings arrive safely in Switzerland, giving you more time to enjoy your new home.

What’s the Difference Between Air Freight and Sea Freight?

When shipping to Switzerland, you can choose between air freight and sea freight depending on your deadline and shipment size.

  • Air Freight: Perfect for those in a hurry, air freight takes approximately 4-7 days. This option is great for individuals who want their belongings quickly.
  • Sea Freight: Perfect for larger shipments or those with a flexible deadline, sea freight is a more affordable option. It takes approximately 4-6 weeks, making it ideal for larger items like furniture. If you’re moving to a smaller town or rural area, sea freight can be a more cost-effective option.

Both air and sea freight services are reliable and your belongings will arrive in excellent condition.
