Luggage Shipping Services

Losing your luggage can potentially ruin your vacation.  Peter Greenberg wrote a great article on his blog which gives the reader alternatives to checking your luggage with the airline.  Yes, it will probably cost a bit more than checking the bags at the airport, but think about the time and trouble you will avoid.

You can print your boarding pass at home and go directly to the gate (after passing through security, of course). You won't have to wait on line to check the luggage and you won't have to wait to pick it up when you return to your departure airport.  I know we have waited over an hour at Newark airport for our luggage to come through the turnstile.  And you won't have to wade through the crowded airport with your luggage in tow.

Here are a few services that will deliver your luggage for you:
