SEND AHEAD TO EUROPE
Relocating to Europe?
Send Your Belongings Ahead.
Your journey doesn’t have to wait for your luggage.

Moving country rarely happens all at once.
Your flight may be booked before your new home is ready.
Your current accommodation may end before the next one begins.
You may want to arrive first and have your belongings follow later.
That’s exactly what Send Ahead by Delivery Owls is designed for.
We help collect your luggage, boxes and personal belongings, arrange for them to be safely received and held, then deliver or forward them when you are ready.
One trusted point of contact from collection to final destination.
Relocating within Europe?
Tell us where your belongings are now and where you’re heading.
YOUR BELONGINGS CAN MOVE ON YOUR TIMELINE — NOT YOUR FLIGHT’S.
Relocation rarely runs perfectly to schedule.
Maybe your new property isn’t ready.
Maybe you are staying in temporary accommodation.
Maybe you are travelling ahead of your family.
Maybe you simply don’t want to drag suitcases, boxes and personal belongings through airports while trying to start a new life.
With Send Ahead, you can separate your journey from your belongings.
We help take care of everything in between and arrange delivery when YOU are ready.
HOW SEND AHEAD WORKS
01 — WE COLLECT IT.
Start where you are.
We can arrange collection of your luggage, boxes or personal belongings from your home, hotel, accommodation or another agreed location via trusted courier partners FEDEX, DHL or UPS and handle all customs paperwork and insurances needed.
For customers on the Costa del Sol, our local Delivery Owls team can also provide direct collection.
02 — WE RECEIVE IT.
Safe arrival. Confirmed.
Your belongings are received and checked in so you know they have safely reached the next
stage of their journey.
We keep communication simple and make sure you know what is happening throughout the process.
03 — WE KEEP IT SAFE.
Not ready yet? No problem.
Your belongings can be held until you are ready for them.
Whether that is a few days while you move into your new home or longer while you complete your relocation, we help bridge the gap between sending and receiving.
04 — WE DELIVER OR FORWARD IT.
Ready for your belongings? We’ll get them moving again.
When the time is right, we arrange onward delivery to your final destination.
On the Costa del Sol, Delivery Owls can provide local final-mile delivery directly.
Elsewhere in Europe, we coordinate onward courier or delivery arrangements according to your destination.

BUILT FOR THE REALITY OF RELOCATING
Your new home isn’t ready. We are.
Send Ahead is particularly useful when you are:
Relocating to Europe
Send belongings before or after you travel and avoid trying
to coordinate everything on moving day.
Between homes
Leaving one property before the next one is ready?
Your belongings don’t need to come with you.
Staying somewhere temporarily
Arrive with only what you need while the rest of
your belongings are safely taken care of.
Moving in stages
Send some belongings now and others later rather
than trying to move everything at once.
Returning home temporarily
Avoid transporting belongings backwards and forwards unnecessarily.
Travelling light
Suitcases, boxes and bulky personal belongings
can make an already complicated journey harder than it needs to be.
SEND AHEAD ACROSS EUROPE
One service. Multiple destinations.
Delivery Owls can coordinate Send Ahead journeys for customers
relocating to destinations across Europe.
Whether you are moving to:
Spain • Portugal • France • Italy • Germany • Netherlands • Belgium • Ireland • Austria • Switzerland • Scandinavia and beyond
we can help coordinate the logistics of getting your
belongings from where they are now to where you eventually need them.
Costa del Sol customers
Delivery Owls is based in the Marbella area, which means we can provide hands-on local collection, receiving and final delivery across
the Costa del Sol where appropriate.
For other European destinations, we coordinate the receiving and forwarding process with the appropriate delivery arrangements.
WHAT CAN YOU SEND AHEAD?
Depending on the route and circumstances, Send Ahead can be suitable for:
Suitcases
Moving boxes
Clothing and personal belongings
Golf equipment
Baby and family travel equipment
Seasonal belongings
Work and relocation items
Selected household belongings
Not sure whether we can take something?
Ask us before booking and we’ll tell you clearly what is possible.
WHY NOT JUST USE A COURIER?
Because sometimes you’re not ready to receive the delivery.
A normal courier or service such as send my bag is designed to move something from A to B.
Send Ahead is designed for the awkward bit in the middle.
You may not have access to your new property yet.
You may not know the exact delivery date.
You may still be travelling or get delayed.
You may need somewhere trusted to receive the belongings before final delivery.
That is where Delivery Owls is different.
We don’t simply arrange shipping.
We help coordinate:
Collection → Receiving → Temporary holding → Final delivery or forwarding
So your belongings can move around your relocation, rather than your relocation having to move around the courier.
YOUR BELONGINGS DESERVE MORE THAN A TRACKING NUMBER.
Relocating is stressful enough without wondering where your belongings are.
Delivery Owls is built around human support and clear communication.
Where applicable, our service can include:
Secure handling
Confirmation when belongings are received
Photographic documentation where required
One point of contact
Careful packaging support
Courier coordination
Customs paperwork where required
Insurance Cover
Tracking for onward shipments
You are not simply booking a parcel label.
You have a real team helping coordinate the journey.

CLEAR PRICING BEFORE WE START
Every relocation is different.
Your Send Ahead quote will depend on factors including:
Where your belongings are now
Where you are moving to
Number and size of bags or boxes
Collection requirements
How long they need to be held
Final delivery or forwarding destination
We provide a clear quotation before the service begins so you understand what is included.
No need to work it all out yourself.
Tell us the journey.
We’ll help work out the logistics.
ALREADY LEFT SOMETHING BEHIND?
We can help with that too.
Delivery Owls also provides a specialist Lost Property Retrieval Service.
If you have left a phone, laptop, wallet, suitcase, jewellery or another belonging at an airport, hotel, restaurant, car-hire company or business, we can help arrange retrieval and return.
