Choose a collection point that can release your bags
A luggage courier can be assessed for home-to-hotel, hotel-to-home or another agreed address-to-address journey. Give the full address, reception or concierge details, and the name under which the bags are stored. Tell the collection contact that a courier is coming and agree what identification or authorisation they require.
Airport and station collections need particular care. Confirm that the bags have already been released and are available at an accessible collection point. Restricted areas, airline baggage processes and access charges need to be clarified before a driver is dispatched.
Prepare each suitcase for transport
Count every suitcase, holdall and separate item. Give approximate packed dimensions and weight, including bulky cases that may not fit a small vehicle. Close zips and fastenings, secure loose straps, and protect delicate outer surfaces. Attach a clear recipient label while keeping sensitive personal information out of public view.
Explain valuable or fragile contents before acceptance so packing and cover can be discussed. Tell the team about batteries, liquids or other contents requiring assessment. Do not assume every packed item is suitable simply because it is inside a suitcase. A clear inventory helps avoid leaving a separate bag behind.
Plan the arrival as carefully as the collection
For same day suitcase delivery, give the receiving contact's name and telephone number alongside the delivery address. If a hotel will accept bags before you check in, obtain its agreement first and supply your booking name. Reception opening hours and any storage instructions should be included.
Tell us the earliest collection time and the latest useful arrival time. Our same day courier service uses dedicated transport, with timing confirmed against the route and availability. For a long-distance movement, the London to Manchester delivery guide explains how ready times and receiving deadlines affect the plan.
What affects the price of luggage delivery?
The route, number and size of bags, vehicle requirement and collection arrangements all matter. Additional stops, waiting for a contact and out-of-hours access can change the quote. Review our same day courier cost guide and provide the complete journey before booking.

Common questions
Can you collect luggage that I left at a hotel?
The journey can be assessed once the hotel confirms it will release the bags to your courier. Provide the hotel contact, your booking name and any authorisation it requests.
Can you deliver bags before I arrive?
Yes, if the receiving hotel or other contact agrees to accept them. Confirm the recipient, reception hours and storage arrangements before booking.
Is this an airline lost-baggage service?
This guide covers courier transport of luggage available for collection. Bags held by an airline or airport must first be released through its own process, with an accessible handover point confirmed.
