ONE LESS THING TO CARRY
Ship your luggage.
Or check your bag?
The better choice depends on your trip. Compare the whole cost, the timing and where your bag needs to be — not just a headline price.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Six checks. A clearer choice.
Start with the route.
This guide focuses on shipments within the 50 United States. LugLess does not collect from or deliver to airports, or deliver directly to cruise ships. Confirm that both addresses fit the service before comparing prices. [1]
Compare the complete cost.
Use the baggage allowance and fees for your actual flight, not a generic starting price. Compare both directions of travel and include any pickup, packaging, optional support and receiving charges in the shipping quote.
Measure the packed bag.
Weigh and measure the bag after packing. LugLess prices shipments using size as well as weight; carrier measurements can lead to later billing adjustments. Read the current adjustment rules before paying. [2]
Leave time to receive it.
Check the shipping date and delivery option for your exact route. Plan for the bag to arrive before you need its contents, with room for disruption. Keep essential items with you rather than relying on the shipment arriving at a particular hour. [5]
Arrange the handover.
Ask the hotel or receiving location whether it accepts luggage deliveries, which address and guest name to use, and whether it charges a handling fee. Make a plan for early arrival, storage and collection. [3]
Pack for the shipping rules.
Do not assume that everything permitted in airline baggage can be shipped. Check the current prohibited-items list and packaging instructions. Review support, cancellation and protection options separately; do not assume that every item or delay is covered. [4]
