As one of the independent baggage shipping company, Kingaru 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.
International Shipping by Sea or Air
At Kingaru Logistics, you can choose to send your belongings by sea or air, and in the case of some European, US 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
Kingaru 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 every respective destination worldwide. 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.
Customs Information
Kingaru Logistics has no control over foreign customs services, local authorities and/or agents who undertake searches, or charge duty/tax/quarantine or other fees, at their discretion or in accordance with local regulations. For customs details for many countries see the Customs information section of this website.
GUIDE TO PACKING YOUR UNACCOMPANIED OR EXCESS BAGGAGE
Kingaru Logistics goes to great lengths to ensure that you pack your belongings as safely and securely as possible to withstand the rigors of transit by the sea, air and road. Thus we supply you with the best quality cartons and packaging materials free of charge and actively encourage you to order more cartons than you might need for your baggage shipping. (We will collect the excess from you)
Made from industrial-strength Five-ply cardboard, our cartons come in a wide range of sizes to meet your needs – with some designed to accommodate even your most awkwardly shaped items such as bikes and guitars. In addition, to ensure that all your excess luggage or belongings are given complete protection, our cartons come with top-quality tape, industry-standard bubble wrap, good-quality wrapping paper, and the best quality tissue paper for your most fragile possessions.
How to order? Once you have decided on the excess luggage you plan to send, and calculated your requirements, simply email us on info@kingaruworldwide.com.au , we will then deliver your cartons and packaging materials to any address within our network of agents, within certain city limits upon agreement for outstation customers.
Remember, with Kingaru Logistics you pay only for the cartons you pack. You can order as many as you wish and return the rest.
TIPS ON PACKING EXCESS LUGGAGE
- Always ensure that breakables are placed at the centre of the carton, away from edges, corners and sides.
- Use bubble wrap, wrapping paper or even soft materials such as clothing and linen to pack around fragile items and to fill spaces.
- Be certain not to leave space in a carton: pack as tightly as possible to prevent movement and the possibility of items being damaged.
- Do not put the handling staff at risk from punctured cartons. Keep sharp objects away from edges or sides.
- Kingaru Logistic recommends that you avoid packing liquids such as wine, spirit or perfume. There is always the chance they could leak, ruining your belongings and other people’s. Moreover, such baggage shipping or luggage shipping accidents are not covered by insurance policies.
Don’t pack your box too heavy or too loosely.
Too heavy will ruin your back
Too loose will ruin your stuff
