Suitcase packaging: what we recommend

For safer transport, we strongly recommend protective external packaging — ideally a durable cardboard box of a suitable size for the suitcase.

Stretch film

Stretch film can be used for additional protection (e.g. for stabilisation, covering zips). It does not replace the protective outer packaging / cardboard box.

Compensation and terms

The packaging requirements and whether any damage is covered depend on the terms of the specific service / carrier shown in the calculation. Do not assume you are entitled to compensation — read the terms before completing your booking or ask us if you are unsure.

Packing instructions Shipping rules

Recommended practice

  • Place the suitcase in a suitable cardboard box, with padding to fill any gaps so it does not move around.
  • Protect wheels, handles and zips.
  • Remove old airline tags and barcodes.
  • Measure the weight and external dimensions only once it is in its final packaging, ready for collection.
  • Declare the contents accurately — especially for destinations outside the EU.

What affects the price

There is no single fixed price 'per suitcase'. The cost is based on actual details, such as:

origin, destination and postcode
actual weight and external dimensions (after final packaging)
volumetric weight, where applicable
number of items
available service (e.g. Standard / Express, where offered)
requirements for destinations outside the EU
available pickup / delivery method for the route

The price that applies to you is shown in the online calculation for the details you provide.

Within the EU and outside the EU

Within the European Union

For standard personal belongings between member states, an import/export customs process does not usually apply. Restrictions may apply depending on the contents and service.

Outside the European Union

(e.g. United Kingdom, Switzerland and other non-EU destinations) Customs information or declarations may be required. Taxes, duties or fees — if any — are determined by the rules of the destination country and are not a DASH charge, unless a specific service explicitly states otherwise before completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send a suitcase abroad with DASH?

Yes, where the route and the luggage characteristics are supported. Use the Suitcase flow, declare the actual dimensions and weight as it will be handed over, and see the available options online.

Do I need a cardboard box?

We strongly recommend protective outer packaging / a suitable cardboard box. Stretch film is complementary; it does not replace the box. The requirements and consequences in case of damage depend on the terms of the service/carrier.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the route, postcode, weight, dimensions, number of items and the available service. Enter the actual details in the calculator — we do not publish a fixed "per suitcase" price on this page.

Can I send more than one suitcase?

Yes, where supported: add each item with its own dimensions and weight.

Suitcase or moving?

Suitcases / luggage / a few boxes → usually the parcel network with an online price. Furniture or household goods → moving request. If your case is mixed, ask us.

What applies for the United Kingdom or Switzerland?

Outside the EU, declarations may be required and charges may be incurred at the destination. See the customs guide and declare the contents and value correctly.

What happens in case of damage?

Coverage and conditions for compensation depend on the terms of the selected service/carrier and on the packaging. Do not take compensation for granted; check the terms or ask us before shipping.

How long does the shipment take?

The estimated transit time is shown in the available options during the price calculation and depends on the route and service. We do not commit to a general transit time on this page.

For restricted items, also consult the Shipping rules.
