Shipping Luggage
My apologies for not denoting whether this is a FedEx or UPS thread since I can't make up my own mind yet what it is and the article I have linked talks about both, as well as these new-fangled luggage specialists.
Like everyone else, I am tired of airlines losing my checked luggage and I can't very well pack my kitchen sink and 15 pairs of shoes into my carry on ;). So I have thought of shipping my luggage on my next trip to SAT. The article says UPS, at least, doesn't want to get into the luggage shipping business. What's a girl to do, other than leave 14 pairs of shoes behind! :) |
I have shipped suitcases via Fedex (air) from the U.S. to Asia and no problems. They were not boxed.

I've shipped my snow skis and boots instead of trying to haul them on a jumpseat. No problems in a good bag. I would limit the number of exposed straps as I'm sure the rampers love to sling parcels with straps....

Not bashing the competition, but...
Bring your bag(s) to your local FedEx Kinko's--they'll fix you up. Delivery to a hotel or residence no problem--that's our raison d' etre. FedEx Ground will be cheaper, IF you can forego the items for a few days (3-6?) ahead. Otherwise, FedEx Express wins the prize. But I am biased...:D Be sure to hit Mi Tierra or Do Brazilia when you're in San Antonio.

Mi Tierra rocks, especially their freshly squeezed orange juice.

Thanks for the insight. San Antonio is my second home so lots of stuff going back and forth. I'll try Mi Tierra next time; it ought to be a refreshing change from Sonic or Whataburger or Bill Miller BBQ. ;)
