Have your luggage shipped:                                                           Back

Waiting in long lines in an airport can rattle nerves not to mention tiring you out before you even get to your destination. It's even worse if you have 30 or 40 pounds of luggage to pick up every few steps. You can avoid this, plus the hassle of a customs inspector pulling your bags apart by shipping your luggage to your hotel or from your hotel to your home.

There are several companies that will ship for you. Below are a few:

1. Sports Express 800 357-4174 Try calling their 800 # When I called they had a $5. discount

2. Luggage Express: 866 744-7224

3. Skycap International: 877-775-9227

This service is from your home to your hotel.

Note: Unless your willing to pay for overnight delivery, you'll have to ship a few days before you leave & the service isn't cheap.

Note: You could ship the bags yourself with FedEx but you would have to shrink-wrap them. I don't know how much you would save but money is a problem you can always compare their prices.
