How Our Airport Collection Service Works
Airport collection requirements vary depending on where your belongings are being held and who is authorised to release them.
Send Your Details
Tell us the airport, item type, current storage location, contact details and how urgently you need collection.
Confirm Release
We establish the collection requirements. You may need to provide identification, written authorisation or a reference number.
Arrange Collection
Once approved and confirmed, we coordinate an available collection option and any necessary onward handling.
Forward Your Belongings
We arrange onward shipping or delivery as agreed, subject to carrier acceptance and applicable shipping requirements.
Information Required for an Urgent Airport Collection
The more information you provide, the easier it is to assess the collection and delivery arrangements.
Airport terminals, airline baggage services and lost property offices may have different access rules, collection windows and identification requirements.
Where items are held by an airline or airport operator, collection depends on that organisation agreeing to release the goods to an authorised third party.
Please Provide:
- Airport name and terminal, if known
- Name of the airline, airport department or company holding the belongings
- Lost property, baggage or collection reference number
- Description of the items, including approximate weight and dimensions
- Confirmation that the goods are ready for release
- Any collection authorisation or identification requirements
- Final delivery address and destination country
- Required collection deadline
