Packing & Shipping

 Having had a successful antiques visit to the West Country you will obviously need to ship your goods home. Bristol International Airport (BIA) is well supported by an excellent choice of cargo services.

If your purchases exceed your baggage allowance you'll be interested to know that Continental Airlines have appointed Ward Aviation Support as their official cargo agents. Ward's are situated within the BIA complex, and although you are advised to pre-book your cargo, you can by prior arrangement, deliver your goods to them immediately before checking in for your return flight to Newark, but please allow extra time for doing this. When dropping your goods off at Ward's please ensure that you have invoices for your purchases, or a detailed manifest to ensure that they can complete the required documentation on your behalf. Package size restrictions are very good, currently with a maximum weight per package of 45 kilos and maximum sizes of 139cm (54 inches) x 101cm (39inches). PLEASE NOTE: Maximum weights and sizes may vary, please check for the latest update. Further information and contact details available on the Ward Aviation Support web site.

Alternatively, Robinsons International based less than 30 minutes from the airport offers a full door to door shipping service. They will collect your purchases from the dealer, pack, load and ship out to the USA within seven working days. With over 100 years' experience they are well known throughout the antiques trade in Britain. When your purchases are complete, simply ask your dealer to call Robinsons at Bristol to arrange collection.

Want your independence with
your own goods vehicle?
Interestingly, if you choose to drive yourself with a hired van, a service with an excellent choice of quality vehicles with tail-lifts where applicable is available about 20 - 30 minutes from BIA. To hire you'll need to bring your Driving Licence and Passport. On completion of your visit your goods and vehicle can be left at the Shippers as mentioned above, allowing you to either return to the airport or your hotel.
