Things to be careful about while shipping suitcases Internationally
- Avoid using designer or lightweight shell suitcases and spinner ones, as they may become damaged in transit.
- Secure, extendable suitcase handles with tape to prevent them from deploying during transit.
- Do not lock your suitcase; use a cable tie or string to secure the zips.
- Attach your labels securely using Get My Parcel label holders, designed for transit.
- You can order label holders during booking or through your account. If you don’t have time for label holders to arrive, use tape that doubles back on itself to attach your label securely to the front of your suitcase.
- Include a backup label inside your suitcase.
- Do not pack any prohibited items in your suitcase (Check the list of prohibited items)
- Include a packing list with your shipment and any necessary customs documentation.
- Attach your address label and packing list in separate label holders to be visible.

How to measure the Suitcase?
What is volumetric weight?
Our pricing policy is based on the package’s actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. For instance, if you are shipping a box with dimensions of 50cm x 50cm x 50cm, its maximum volume would be calculated as length x breadth x weight/5000, which in this case would be 25kg. Therefore, even if the actual weight of the box is less than 25kg, you will be charged for 25kg. In another scenario, if your box has a volumetric weight of 25kg but contains an item weighing 30kg, you will be charged for the actual weight of 5kg instead of the volumetric weight of 25kg.
