Frequently asked questions about lost and found shipping services

What is the best way to prepare a delivery of lost luggage for shipping?
When preparing to ship suitcases in order for your lost luggage to be delivered by courier, it is recommended to pack the suitcase inside a cardboard box, instead of shipping the suitcase alone. While it is still possible to ship a suitcase on its own, some couriers may refuse collection. Furthermore, insurance will not cover any damage to the suitcase itself, only its contents.
For detailed packing instructions for lost luggage deliveries and excess baggage shipping, see our dedicated page.
Will hotels ship bulky lost items, and what is the best way to return them within Europe?
Most hotels will be happy to ship lost items, but in any case, you should always check with them first. If your lost property is rather bulky and you need it turned to you urgently, we recommend to book it through our van delivery service for direct transport within Europe, with no stop-overs.
You can get an instant price on our booking tool.
How can I find out when my lost and found shipment has been collected and is on its way?
You can easily track the progress of your lost and found shipment on our tracking tool. Once you book the service, you will receive your tracking number by email, which will be active once your item is collected. If you are unsure about the progress of your shipment, or your tracking has stopped for whatever reason, contact our team who can track it down for you.
