What Are Personal Effects in Shipping?
Personal effects are essentially any personal belongings that you use in your daily life. To be classified as a personal effect, items have been owned and used for at least 12 months. These include:
- Household goods (furniture, kitchenware, electronics)
- Personal belongings (clothing, books, keepsakes)
- Unaccompanied baggage (suitcases, travel essentials)
- Vehicles (cars, motorbikes, and more)
Our shipping services are perfect for expats, international students, travellers, and Australians returning home.

- Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper and label them as fragile.
