FAQs

Group luggage shipping: your questions answered

Everything you need to know about moving a group’s luggage across the UK with Sherpr.

What type of groups ship luggage domestically within the UK?
Many kinds of groups use a domestic luggage shipping service within the UK, including sports teams, tour groups, orchestras and special-interest groups. It is especially useful for groups travelling by coach or train, letting everyone offload their bags rather than dragging them from stop to stop or through busy train stations. It is also popular with passengers heading to or from a cruise.
Why is group shipping a good solution for tour companies in the UK?
If you are running a tour within the UK, Sherpr’s group luggage transfer service collects your group’s luggage and delivers it to the next destination, so you avoid the logistical headache and the added expense of a larger coach or a trailer. It can also open up city-centre hotels that coaches often struggle to access, giving your clients a smoother and more comfortable trip.
How much does a UK group luggage transfer cost?
UK group luggage transfers start from around £200 for a short same-city move such as London Heathrow to London, from £300 London to Southampton, from £400 London to Manchester, from £550 London to York and from £750 London to Edinburgh. These are indicative “from” prices for a Sprinter van, and your exact quote is confirmed for your chosen route and dates.
How many suitcases fit in the vehicle?
A Sprinter or Luton van carries roughly 40 to 45 suitcases of 23kg each (1,000kg). A small van takes about 15, a 7.5 tonne lorry 100 to 110, a 12 tonne lorry 170 to 180 and an 18 tonne lorry up to 350.
What are the benefits of Sherpr’s group shipping service?

One of the main benefits of Sherpr’s group shipping service is that it offers a dedicated one-stop shop across the UK. Your group’s luggage is collected from a hotel, airport or station and delivered the same day or next day to your next hotel or tour stop.

City-centre hotels and some resort-based hotels often have limited or restricted access for coaches. This means the vehicle arranged by Sherpr can reach areas where a coach may be restricted.

Is it easier to use group luggage transfers if travelling by train?
Yes. Group luggage shipping is one of the most popular options for groups travelling by train. Many train operators do not offer porterage, and carriages are not equipped or suited to holding large amounts of luggage. Add the difficulty of getting bags on and off the train, and then through a busy station, and it quickly becomes the hardest part of the journey. The group luggage transfer service from Sherpr moves everything door to door, so rail groups travel with just their hand luggage.
