    urgent please...20 kg bag shipment from UK to HK

    Hi All

    we live in HK and are currently on vacation in UK. I am flyign back tomorrow and urgently need your help to decide on what to do for thr excess luggage I have

    i am allowed 20 kg with malaysian airlines but realized that I will have around 10 kg over & above that limit.
    my family would have another 10 kg and I heard that Malaysia airline is very strict with weight limits. anybody has experience with this?

    1. how much do they charge /kg (if you have similar exprience)\
    2. can i prer-book extra weight allowance before I head to airport tomorrow morning? whats the weight limit?
    3. Has anyboby used any service to ship a 20 kg bad from Uk to HK (there is noo urgency in terms of the actual time it takes to reach UK, it should be safe abd cheap).

    thanks a lot!! for the your help

    if urgent, consider write on malaysian expat sites, but change the destination to KL instead HK, Malaysian airline is not as common.

    Yes, a thing called the "post office" which can be found in many "high streets". A box sent by "surface mail" is very cheap.

    Much cheaper option and faster option than the post office--have it sent along as unaccompanied baggage.
