With Unaccompanied Baggage, be careful with all the additional charges.

I was once quoted a rate for Unaccompanied Baggage from Port Moresby to Australia which was half the rate for excess baggage and was quoted two days for delivery. I sent 25 kg this way. Instead of taking two days, my Unaccompanied Baggage took three weeks.

When I went to the Airport to collect my Unaccompanied Baggage, I was charged all sorts of fees including custom clearance fees etc etc.

When I eventually added up all the fees, it would have have been cheaper to have paid excess baggage.

Nowdays, I use sea mail to send my things back from Bali.
