Have you used the excess baggage company at heathrow airport
Hi there.
I am going back to oz next week and have about 15kilos excess baggage. I am on Cathay pacific so can't pay for extra bag and don't want to pay their fees.
I have looked at the post office and it isn't viable to go surface mail with them and I'm not sure about parcelforce. So thought I would try excess at heathrow.
Has anyone used them and give me an idea of fees or service.
You never know Cathay may let me on
Thanks.

I use www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk now - cheaper, plus the service is door to door. Also I've used them four times and had no fees this end.

Can't remember what the cost was but it was a whole lot cheaper than Singapore Airlines excess baggage charges!

My son used them in July to send 23kgs of baggage. Cost him about £160 plus he had to pay a small fee when he picked it up in Melbourne 1 week later.

That's pretty good, hadn't even realised this service was available. We were having a few issues over the excess baggage for next week it's fair to say, looks like I'll be giving them a call.

Just to say that if you do use Excess Baggage, get to the airport a bit earlier. When I checked in my son, we were at Heathrow 3 hours in advance. But it took over an hour just to get the baggage sorted with EB and we were the only ones at the desk! The people in the queue behind us would have waited much longer as there was only 1 person on duty. There's an awful lot of paperwork to fill in
By the time my son had checked in, it didn't give him much time to get something to eat (and say goodbye to me ) before going through passport control.
