Excess Baggage Riebeek-Kasteel – Ship Big, Save Big
Because your giraffe statue deserves a passport too.
Welcome to the Land of Baggage Liberation
Whether you’ve over-shopped at the V&A Waterfront, inherited a vintage surfboard from Muizenberg, or simply packed like you’re moving continents (again), Excess Baggage Riebeek-Kasteel is here to rescue your baggage from airline tyranny. We specialize in air and sea freight solutions for excess Baggage, personal cargo, and oversized souvenirs. If it fits in a box, crate, or tea chest—we’ll ship it. If it doesn’t, we’ll find a way.
Why Ship Excess Baggage?
- Airlines charge a fortune for overweight bags and don’t offer door-to-door service.
- Sea freight is cheaper for bulky or non-urgent items.
- We handle the paperwork so you don’t have to Google “DA304” at midnight.
- Door-to-door or airport collection – your choice, your convenience.
- We ship anything legal – from golf clubs to giraffes (wooden ones, please).
Air Freight vs Sea Freight – The Showdown
| Feature | Air Freight | Sea Freight |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fast (3–10 days) | Slow (4–8 weeks) |
| Cost | Higher (charged by weight) | Lower (charged by volume) |
| Best For | Urgent, lightweight items | Bulky, non-urgent cargo |
| Tracking | Real-time updates | Port-to-port visibility |
Pro Tip: If your cargo includes furniture, books, or a 6-foot giraffe, go sea. If it’s grandma’s crystal set and you need it next week, go air.

“The Emotional Weight of Baggage”
When I arrived at Riebeek-Kasteel International with three suitcases, a duffel bag, a box of biltong, and a life-sized wooden penguin named Trevor, the airline agent looked at me like I’d just wheeled in a small furniture showroom.
“Sir,” she said, “you’re 47 kilograms over the limit.”
I blinked. “But Trevor’s mostly hollow.”
She didn’t laugh.
I tried reasoning. “It’s not excess baggage—it’s emotional support cargo.”
Still no smile.
I offered to wear all my clothes at once. She said that wouldn’t help the penguin.
So I did what any rational adult would do: I called my mom.
She suggested I ship it via air freight. I asked if she’d pay. She hung up.
Next, I tried sea freight. The guy at the counter asked, “Is it waterproof?”
I said, “Trevor’s a penguin. Of course he is.”
He nodded solemnly and handed me a form titled “Declaration of Sentimental Objects.”
I ticked every box.
Weeks later, Trevor arrived in London—wrapped in bubble wrap, wearing a sticker that said “Handle With Awe.”
Customs asked if it was art. I said, “It’s family.”
They waved me through.
Now Trevor sits proudly in my flat, next to the couch, silently judging my Netflix choices.
And every time someone asks why I didn’t just leave him behind, I say:
“You don’t abandon a penguin in Riebeek-Kasteel. That’s how villains are made.”
