Excess Luggage & Unaccompanied Baggage — India to South Korea
Flying from India to South Korea and can't fit everything into your airline baggage allowance? ShipKorea.in ships your excess luggage door-to-door under our standard DDP courier — free pickup from your Indian home, duty-paid delivery to your Korean address (dorm, hostel, apartment or hotel) usually within 5–8 days of your travel date.
What it is
Excess luggage (also called unaccompanied baggage) is any suitcase, box or bag that doesn't fly with you as check-in or cabin baggage. Instead of paying airline excess-baggage fees (often ₹1,500–₹3,000 per kg, sometimes more than a full ShipKorea rate) or leaving belongings behind, we pick up your bags in India, handle export + Korean import customs, and door-deliver in Korea. It's the smart, low-stress way for students, NRIs, expats, workers on assignment and Korean families relocating home.
Who it's for
- Indian students moving to Seoul, KAIST (Daejeon), POSTECH (Pohang), Yonsei, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan and other Korean universities
- IT professionals and engineers on multi-year Korea assignments
- NRIs and Korean families relocating from India to Korea
- Diplomats, embassy staff and long-term expats
- Anyone flying to Korea with more suitcases than airline allowance permits
