Nowadays several companies exist that provided door to door (or door to hotel) luggage shipping. They offer a fast and convenient service that frees the traveler of cumbersome bags or sports equipment that may have large excess luggage fees if taken on a flight as checked luggage. Also included in the service is a higher rate of insurance on your shipped items and the ability to select, on both legs of your journey, when your items are to be collected form your home/office/hotel and delivered to you selected destination.
Costs vary depending on
- The size and weight of the item you're shipping.
- The shipping distance
- Shipping time frame (between 7 days and next day services)
The advantages of these services are the convenience, added security and possible cost effectiveness when compared to some airline’s excess bag fee.
The disadvantage is the cost, which rises sharply when less time is provided to ship the item, but planning a week in advance will reduce this cost significantly.
