Luggage Shipment to Santiago

Does anyone have any experience or advice regarding luggage shipment (FedEx, etc.) between the US and Santiago.

Plan to visit Machu Picchu before a 30 day cruise that departs Santiago and would really, really like to not take the cruise clothes all the way to Machu Picchu the week before the cruise.

Thanks in advance.

Are you flying direct to Machu Picchu or spending overnight in a Santiago hotel prior to going there? If you are staying overnight, ask the hotel to store your luggage(s) until you come back.

I would use a luggage company such as Luggage Concierge, Luggage Free or Luggage Forward and not do this on your own. They will use the same vendors as you can but they know what they are doing so if something goes wrong (and trust me it does with customs from around the world) they know how to get it resolved.
