The main reason is customer mistakenly entered wrong credit card information. We strongly suggest customer to double check their payment information before submission. However, there are many other reasons that lead to credit card decline:

- There are not enough funds on your card.

- The credit card is not open to international transactions (non-US credit cards only).

- The credit card issued bank has placed high levels of security measures on your card.

Because the issued bank usually will not provide us detailed information as to why your credit card was declined, please contact your bank to resolve this issue.

Your account credits will be applied to your new order automatically when you place the order. If the order is cancelled, the applied credits will be back to your account.

For security purposes, our accounting department may request credit card verification. We may charge your credit card an amount between $0.2 to $10. The amount will be refunded to your credit card account within 48 hours. We will send you a notification email with the charging time and the company name that will be display on your credit card or bank account statement. To reply to the verification charge amount, please follow these steps:

1) Check with your bank for the amount charged.

2) Login to your LuggageToShip account.

3) Submit the amount in "My profile", credit card section

If the amount you replied matches the amount we charged, your credit card will be verified and approved for use in our system. If the amount does not match, you will be asked to provide a new credit card for your order.

After your shipment is picked up, the carrier will measure the actual size and weight of each luggage/bag/box. Once the shipment is delivered, the carrier company will bill the shipping fee at the actual chargeable weight which is the greater of the total actual weight versus total dimensional weight. The formula to calculate the dimensional weight (pound) of your luggage is: length (inch) * width (inch) * height (inch) / 139.

If the final chargeable weight of your bag exceeds the maximum weight of the luggage, box, ski or golf bag type you selected, we must charge you for the shipping fee of the weight difference. To avoid weight difference fees, visit our Shipping Weight and Size page to find the correct size of your item(s). You can also use a measuring tape to measure each of your pieces before booking the order for a more accurate pricing of your shipment.

If you travel and send your used personal effects or sport equipment ahead, it will be a great idea to provide the customs authorities of the destination country your passport and visa copies. The customs of the destination country may require a copy of the consignee passport and visa to confirm the goods are intended for personal use and have no commercial value or are not intended for other purposes. In most cases, this will allow personal effects to enter the country without customs delay.

You can upload your passport and visa copy in order details page, passport information part.

If you are not comfortable providing us these documents, you may choose to omit it and provide it directly to local carrier or customs if they request it.

If you travel and ship your used personal effects or sport equipment, we recommend our customers to provide their travel itinerary to the customs authority. Clearing personal effects through customs is different from clearing a commercial shipment. The customs authorities will require proof that the owner of the goods intends to remain the owner. The easiest and quickest way to demonstrate that you intend to remain with the items is to show that you have travelled with them, or plan to do so in the future.

You can upload and fill in your travel itinerary in order details page, travel itinerary part.

If you are not comfortable providing us this information, you may choose to omit it and provide it directly to local carrier or customs if they request it.

For personal shipments, customs authorities will mostly request the passport copy to be provided. In the case that a flight itinerary is requested by customs, consignee will need to contact the local carrier for instructions. In most cases, a statement letter may need to be provided explaining the import scenario.

We use SSL with 256-bit encryption security system. Your passport copy, visa copy and travel itinerary information will be securely saved in our system and will be deleted once the order is closed. You can delete them anytime from your order information in dashboard.

Occasionally, customs may ask for your EORI number. EORI stands for “Economic Operator Registration and Identification”. The EORI number is a unique identification number assigned to a company or individual, to track imports and exports across all EU countries that can be easily identified by customs.

For any international shipment, two copies of an invoice (either pro-forma or commercial) are provided and attached altogether with the shipping documents. Both export and import customs will check the invoice. In some instances, customs may request the (commercial) invoice to be provided again:

- If customs ask for commercial invoice, you can reprint it and provide it to them directly, or

- Inform us and we can forward it to carrier as well.

Please do attach all the shipping documents we provided to minimize customs delay.

After your shipment is picked up, the carrier will measure the actual size and weight of each luggage/bag/box. Once the shipment is delivered, the carrier company will bill the shipping fee at the actual chargeable weight which is the greater of the total actual weight versus total dimensional weight. The formula to calculate the dimensional weight (pound) of your luggage is: length (inch) * width (inch) * height (inch) / 139.

If the final chargeable weight of your bag exceeds the maximum weight of the type you selected, we must charge the shipping fee of the weight difference. To avoid the weight difference, please visit our Shipping Weight and Size to find the correct size of your item(s).

There is very low possibility for the carrier company to bill the wrong weight for your shipment. If this happens, please provide us pictures of luggage/bag/box length and girth with ruler, so we can further check and dispute with the carrier. Please call us at 1-800-678-6167 or email us at cs@luggagetoship.com if you have any further question on the final billing.
