I submitted almost this exact request via the “Smartsheet” form in the contact section of DLnet for Crew Reslurces two weeks ago, and have heard zip. Supposedly, that’s their preferred contact method, but I’ll try this.

I also submitted one about a totally different issue in October, and still hadn’t heard anything in January, so contacted the CPO. TheIr process is hard-broke from their version of VEOP, apparently. But still, 3 months with no reply is absurd.

Guys,

Planning on going skiing wondering about checking a bag when JS offline. Better to take the bag with me and gate check it, or stop by the ticket counter before going into the airport and check it? It is a rolling duffel maybe a little bigger than a standard rollerboard.I have never checked a bag while JS offline.

Any lessons learned by the hardcore road warriors out there?

Thanks Scoop

Checked my snowboard bag many times at the ticket counter. Never had any issues but I always made the flight. Figured if it went, I had a backup and would catch up with it.

I've always done it at the ticket counter. I've only not made it on the same flight twice, and both times it was there waiting for me when I got there. One time it didn't make the flight due to weight, but they ended up trucking the bags in overnight and I had it the next morning.

Technically the FedEx discount rate is "space available". It's a fantastic $$$ deal.

Never had a problem though.

I second everything that you said.

I have never had a problem, but I also haven't tried shipping anything on December 22nd...

Check close to the end of Dec on blackout dates. Some years they won't guarantee delivery after the 18, 19, 20th. I don't know how it's determined and it may be a local policy.

Other than the blackout, I've shipped stuff and LOVE the discount! Walk in with a 'bookbox' size box that weighs 9-10 lbs (clothes and presents) and walk out with a tracking number for $10-$15.

I used it once a few years ago. Does it have to be shipped from the FedEx station at the airport or is it any FedEx?
