Posting luggage within UK

Hi, I'm away working for a month (from Scotland to England). I travelled by train and I don't want to attempt the return journey with all that luggage! Can anyone recommend a good company for posting luggage within the UK?

Comments

  • If you want it to arrive safely and it's worth anything, I'd use a dedicated same day service, we pay a firm called Atlas for the rare same day things, it'd be about £150+ VAT for say Birmingham to London

    If you want to budget and you can pack it into a box or shrink wrap it, most tracked firms like post office/DPD etc will do it for less
  • Avanti West Coast have a link to https://www.sendmybag.com/?affid=344056 for door to door delivery of luggage, from £17.99 for 24 kgs. I haven't used them myself though.
