Shipping luggage

Does anyone have experience shipping luggage? We need to ship from a hotel in Paris to a hotel in Amsterdam prior to a long cruise.

I've used Send My Bag to ship from the US to France. They pick up and deliver.

I've also used Send my Bag but from the UK to the US. Everything easy and efficient. They use DHL.

Another vote for Luggage Free. Excellent customer service, prompt pick up and delivery, reasonable price. They have delivered directly to our cruise stateroom twice. Both times the bag made it to our room before we did. I’ve used them several times and recommend highly.

I’ve shipped luggage before, and it’s such a stress reliever when traveling! I recommend using ParcelABC—they’re super quick and reliable. You can schedule a pickup directly from your hotel in Paris, and they’ll deliver it straight to your Amsterdam hotel. It’s a great way to avoid dragging bags around while traveling.

I'd simply go to a DHL office. Don't see much value in paying a middleman.

I thought the same thing when I used SendMyBag.

SendMyBag was actually cheaper than going to DHL direct. Send my Bag gets a bulk rate while a one time user will pay the highest rate.

Thank you, Frank. I'll try to remember that when I need to do it again!

If one ships their luggage so they do not have to hassle dragging it around in the interim, I wonder why they needed that much extra luggage in the first place?

Perhaps, like us, they begin their vacation in a cold place and finish in a warmer one.

Send My Bag also handles customs so you don’t get zinged for the contents.
