How it Works

How do I get my item back?

After depositing your items in one of our bins you have 30 days to retrieve the item once it has been logged* by our staff. You have the choice to have your item delivered to UK or Europe or you can choose the Collect on Return service. A fee is charged for both services.

For certain items only the Collect on Return option will be offered.

  2. Select your preferred Delivery or Collect on Return option
  3. Enter your address details
  4. Enter your credit card details
  5. Have your item returned to you by courier
    Or pick up your item from the Left Luggage location at the airport your item was deposited

Please note there is no delivery or collect on return option available for any perishable items. Any perishable goods that are deposited in Post and Fly bins, will be immediately disposed of as per Health and Safety procedures.
