Ship the bags you couldn’t fit on the plane to Portugal
Send My Bag picks up suitcases at your old U.S. address and delivers them to your new home in Portugal — typically within 4–8 days, often cheaper than airline overweight-bag fees.
Get a Send My Bag quote →Most Portugal moves involve a few items that aren’t worth a full container shipment but are too much for airline luggage — winter coats, kitchenware, books, sports gear. Send My Bag fills that middle layer. Pack your suitcases, label them online, and a courier picks them up in 1–3 days. They handle customs, deliver to your new Portuguese address, and if you compare to airline overweight fees ($150–$300 per extra bag), it’s often cheaper.

Send My Bag vs full international mover
Use Send My Bag for 1–10 suitcases / boxes — the bags you would have wanted on the plane but couldn’t. Use a full international mover (see our International Moving Quotes partner) for furniture, mattresses, large kitchen appliances, or 20+ boxes. The price-per-kilo on Send My Bag is higher than container shipping, but the convenience for small loads is unmatched.
