There\u2019s no denying the hassles of carrying, checking, and claiming baggage at the airport. Luckily, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipgo.com\/\">ShipGo<\/a> provides a better way to travel to your destination in the form of mailing luggage. Mailing luggage allows you to breeze through the airport with just a plane ticket or carry-on in hand. Here\u2019s how.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Mail Luggage<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before learning the ins and outs of mailing luggage to your destination, there are several reasons why you should opt for mailing luggage rather than dragging it through the airport.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hassle of carrying, checking, and claiming baggage at the airport<\/li><li>Long lines and massive crowds at bag check and baggage claim<\/li><li>Difficulty getting through TSA with luggage<\/li><li>Continuously increasing airline baggage fees<\/li><li>Risk of stolen or lost luggage<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mailing luggage is the most affordable and convenient way to send your baggage to your destination and it only takes a few easy steps.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Place Your Order<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know where you\u2019re headed for your vacation and what bags you\u2019ll be bringing, it\u2019s time to start shipping. Mailing luggage or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipgo.com\/what-can-i-ship\">sporting equipment<\/a> starts with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipgo.com\/pricing\/\">placing your order<\/a>, which can be completed online or over the phone. Placing your order is simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes. Simply provide the addresses you\u2019ll be shipping from and to, some added details about the items you\u2019ll be mailing, and when you need to have your luggage picked up and delivered.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Contact Your Destination<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re mailing luggage to a destination that isn\u2019t your own private residence, we recommend contacting your destination before shipping to advise them of your incoming luggage. When mailing luggage, some locations prefer that you ship to a specific address or they may provide you with instructions on where to find your luggage once you arrive.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Pack Your Bags<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When mailing luggage, it must be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipgo.com\/how-to-pack-attach-labels\">packed<\/a> in a duffle bag, roller suitcase, or box. Sporting equipment must also be packed in a soft travel bag, hard case, or box, depending on the exact type of item you\u2019re shipping. If your order qualifies, your shipping labels will be mailed to you in ready-to-attach pouches. Otherwise, you must print your shipping labels and attach them to your bags before mailing luggage.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Head to the Airport<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to have your bags packed and labeled before your scheduled pickup date when mailing luggage. After your items are collected, you can track their progress with a unique tracking number. An on-time delivery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipgo.com\/guarantee\">guarantee<\/a> and complimentary insurance offer added peace of mind when mailing luggage as you make your way to your destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re traveling on business, with the family, or embarking on a solo adventure, one struggle remains the same: checking baggage.
