Reclaim your lost property from any airport | Heathrow lost and found items shipping
Have you lost an item at Heathrow Airport (LHR) and need to reclaim it? Instead of going back at the airport yourself, you could simply book Eurosender’s shipping service and have it delivered at your door. Traveling back to the airport is very costly and time-consuming. On the other hand, leaving something valuable behind would not be wise either. An answer to such a dilemma is shipping services. In this way, you can reclaim your lost and found property in the most efficient and affordable way.
Airports can be so busy that passengers may lose their way towards their gate or leave a personal item behind. Sometimes, it could even be a suitcase or an expensive electronic device, such as a laptop. Thankfully, the airport security always collects abandoned items and, if they are deemed safe, they are stored for a few months at the lost and found airport department. However, the owner of these items could already be on the other side of a country or even abroad. If you are in this situation, we would recommend you to take lost and found shipping services into consideration.
Important: When booking lost and found items shipping services, you should provide us with an accurate pick-up address. In this case, you will need to write down the address of the place in which your lost property is temporarily stored. If you are unsure whether the pick-up location details are correct, you can contact the airport’s lost and found department for more information. If you simply insert the airport’s address, the courier driver might be unable to locate the person responsible for handing-in your lost property.

Special cases of lost and found items | Baggage Reclaims
Although most lost and found items in airports are small or medium-sized, there have been cases in which they were oddly shaped or quite heavy. If you clearly remember that your items are more than 170 cm long or that they weigh over 40 kg, then you should ask us for an individual offer. Keep in mind that you can only book a standard courier service if the shipment does not exceed the above-mentioned length and weight. If you are unsure about the size of your lost property, you can kindly ask the airport’s stuff to take its measurements.
Things to remember for baggage reclaim | Heathrow lost and found items shipping
- Always provide us with the exact location of the shipment. Simply inserting the airport’s address could result in the courier driver looking for your shipment in the “Departures” or any other irrelevant area of the airport. Be as specific as possible when indicating the lost and found department at the Heathrow airport.
- The airport’s employees should be aware that you will not retrieve the items yourself. To avoid any problems, we would recommend giving the name of the shipping service provider to the staff at the Heathrow lost and found department. Please, remember that Eurosender is the platform for booking the service and not the actual shipping company. You will know which company will take care of your shipment after you book the service.
- Make sure that the airport’s staff are aware of the pick-up date and that they are required to pack your items in a cardboard box. If your lost property is a suitcase, then wrapping it with a protective plastic film will be enough.
