Happy days.
I'm so happy I'm not hooked this year!! My boxes will be here tomorrow, so that'll give me something else to do

enjoy!!

I sent a couple of boxes by Excess Baggage - dropped them off at the office in the terminal at Heathrow before getting on the plane, they took about a week to get here. Cost me about £150 I think (from memory) but I remember it was £100s cheaper than using the airline direct.
No real complaints - I'd use them again.

I used Excess Baggage and they were awful. Late departures, missing paperwork, staff that were unable to communicate in English. I am certain that others do it a lot more cheaply than XS baggage - remember that you must be paying a premium for having all their offices in stations/airports etc.

We used them back in Nov. Very good. Could not fault the service and everything arrived in good condition. I lost a couple of pieces of my crockery but I think that was my own fault for not packing them well enough.

Would recommed them

The stuff was here within 6 weeks of leaving the house in the UK
