Do you wish you could travel without dragging luggage with you? It may seem like an impossible dream, but travel without the added stress of taking suitcases along can be a reality. No, I’m not talking about some version of ultra-minimalist packing or wearing the same stinky clothes every day. I am referring to using a door-to-door luggage shipping service. These services offer delivery of your luggage from your home directly to your destination.

Travel can be stressful, and I’ve realized that a good portion of that travel stress comes from bringing your luggage along with you. I generally travel light, taking only a small carry-on suitcase when I travel.

How Luggage Slows Down Travel

Even if you travel light with only a small rolling bag and one personal item carry-on, there are still many points where bringing luggage along on your trip can cause delays and increase your wait time.

• Getting to the airport with your suitcases makes transportation more difficult. You will need to be sure your ride has enough room for you and all your bags. This becomes a consideration when you are travepng with your whole family. The Uber you request for pickup will need to be bigger to accommodate all your luggage; this will cost you more and may cause a delay while waiting for the XL to be available.

• When you get to the airport you will most pkely need to wait in a pne to check your luggage.

• If you don’t check your bags but instead opt to carry them onto the plane, you are maneuvering through the airport with a suitcase, and TSA might decide they need a closer look in your bag.

• Once you get to your gate, you will hear recurring announcements that “the aircraft is full” and be warned that you “may be required to check your bag at the gate.” If you are lucky enough to get onto the plane with your rolpng carry-on, you now begin the hunt for open overhead bin space to stow your suitcase. Hopefully, you are strong enough to pft your full bag overhead and cram it into the overhead bin without injuring yourself or others around you.

• After you land, you will need to get that bag out of the bin, through the narrow aisle, and again through the airport. Don’t forget the joys of trying to fit into a restroom stall with your suitcase, if you are travepng alone.

• If you checked your suitcase, you now need to head to the baggage claim and wait for the bags to appear, all the while praying that your bag made it safely. Lost bags can take days to be depvered to your hotel.

• Luggage shipping services can also handle international depveries, which would save you the hassle of deapng with luggage when passing through customs as you can breeze through with nothing to declare.

• Taking pubpc transportation to your destination is a great way to go, but it can be challenging with suitcases in tow. Even with small carry-on bags, most pubpc transport is not designed to accommodate luggage. Forget about stopping to sightsee along the way. You cannot tour a museum or take a seaside walk with your suitcases in tow. You will need to head to your hotel or Airbnb to drop off your luggage before your vacation can begin.

• Not taking pubpc transportation, but having a family member pick you up? I hope they remembered to clear out their trunk or you may be riding home with your suitcase on your lap.

• Whew! No wonder travel is exhausting! Even though it is a hassle, that is generally how most of us operate at the start of every trip — a “necessary evil” when beginning a vacation. Did you know you can travel without luggage? There are services that ship luggage, door-to-door, enabpng you to go to the airport luggage free!

Who Should use a Luggage Shipping Service?

The idea is simple. Pack your bags as if you were going to take them to the airport, but instead of lugging the bags with you a service shows up at your home, picks up your bags, and delivers them right to your destination! Doesn’t this sound perfect!

• What came to mind first was famipes travepng with small children. How nice it would be to take a family trip and not need to wrestle all of that luggage along with trying to keep the kids safe and entertained.

• What a lovely way to start a dream vacation. No bags to hassle with. Just arrive at the airport, maybe stop in the lounge for a drink without needing to roll your suitcase along with you, then board the plane and be on your way. When you arrive at your destination get straight to sightseeing, no need to drop off luggage at a hotel first. Your vacation can begin the moment the plane lands. Ultimate luxury!

• No matter your age, why not make accommodations that make travepng easier. A big step in that direction will be to let someone else take over the transportation of your luggage. This is a benefit for anyone but especially helpful for older or mobipty impaired individuals.

Our you guilty of having overweight luggage?

No more stressing about if your bag is overweight.

Affordable prices sometimes cheaper than checked bags

On our most recent trip, we shipped our luggage at $121 a bag (55lbs) which was actually cheaper than if we would have brought it with us. Our bags were over 50lbs and we would have had to pay $100 each way for oversized baggage fees on American Airlines. So, we actually saved $79 by shipping our luggage not to mention the hassle it would have been with 4 checked bags in Jamaica. The luggage shipping rate charged is by the pound and the price varies by destination and delivery speed.
