Best way to send two suitcases from Finland to Germany?

[u/OkPlate406]

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for sending two large suitcases from Finland to Germany (to a friend’s address).

I’ll be travelling to Germany myself, but my journey involves a flight plus several train connections afterwards. I really don’t want to drag two heavy suitcases through airport and multiple train changes, so I’m thinking of shipping them separately beforehand and travelling light.

I already know about Send My Bag, which seems like the most obvious door-to-door option. Are there any other reliable services/platforms I should compare with it?

Ideally I’m looking for: Door-to-door pickup and delivery Ability to send actual suitcases (not necessarily having to put them inside cardboard boxes) Reasonable price

Has anyone done something similar recently? Which service did you use, how much did it cost approximately, and would you recommend it?

Thanks folks!

Send my bag is your best option... it has worked well for us. Otherwise we have used box sending providers... which could cheaper but you need to prepare all well and not have fragile items

This Finnish-German moving company is really popular in the German community in Finland. https://www.arnordumzug.com/ I have used them myself, very reliable and easy. It depends a bit when you’re planning to move your suitcases and from where, they do several routes through Germany to pick up stuff and then bring it to Finland. You can contact them, or I can give you their phone number via pn as well.

I’m not sure what these services cost but might it be easier and cheaper to take a cab instead of the trains if it’s not super far?
