About
SendMyBag is a luggage shipping service designed to simplify the transport of personal belongings for travelers, students, and expatriates, offering a convenient alternative to traditional baggage handling. SendMyBag specializes in shipping personal belongings and was founded by Adam Ewart, who has a background in the logistics industry. The company is headquartered in Bangor, UK. In September 2012, SendMyBag raised GBP 0.
1 million in Angel funding from Lough Shore Investments, bringing the total amount raised to GBP 0. 1 million and the current company valuation to GBP 2. 0 million. SendMyBag® focuses on the shipping of personal effects, providing services for individuals relocating, studying abroad, or traveling.
They offer luggage delivery, excess baggage shipping, and customized services for students, contractors, and expatriates. Operating in over 80 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, the company addresses travel challenges like excess baggage costs and lost luggage risks by offering competitive pricing and tracking options for customers. SendMyBag® generates revenue primarily through direct-to-consumer transactions for luggage shipping services. Their pricing structure is competitive, particularly for students and frequent travelers.
Customers can obtain quotes based on destination, weight, and size of packages, with a key service being excess baggage shipping, which allows for multiple bags to be sent ahead of travel dates, thereby avoiding high airline fees. The company supports a seamless booking experience with strong customer service available seven days a week. The Angel funding of GBP 0. 1 million raised in September 2012 will be allocated towards enhancing service offerings and expanding market reach.
SendMyBag aims to introduce new product lines and explore additional markets, particularly targeting regions in Asia and South America by 2024. This strategic initiative will bolster their operational capacity and improve customer engagement globally.
