"It's worth noting that while I was testing this service, I did not book any form of express shipping and expected my bag to arrive a week (or five business days) after it was picked up. Much to my surprise, 48 hours after it shipped, my trunk arrived at its destination. Luckily, this was my parents' house, so they were happy to hold it for a few days before I arrived."
"While I used Luggage Forward on a long weekend to visit my family, luggage shipping seems best suited for long-term stays. It's a great option for those who are moving temporarily (study abroad students, those visiting family for a few weeks at a time, or bi-coastal folks), those who are bringing more than they could possibly carry alone (destination wedding hosts), or anyone who needs big and bulky items for their trip (like tents, skis, or golf clubs)."
A tested shipment expected to take five business days arrived in 48 hours, delivered to the recipient's parents who held it until arrival. The carrier notified of an early delivery and indicated that someone usually does not need to be present to receive bags. Luggage shipping timing is not as exact as airline baggage, so hotels or rentals may need advance notice to store early arrivals. Luggage shipping best serves long-term stays, temporary moves, study-abroad students, bi-coastal travelers, destination wedding hosts, and travelers with bulky items like tents, skis, or golf clubs. The service reduces airport lugging and travel-day stress by allowing arrival with only a personal item.
