Sending Luggage Home

[sebritish]

We will be on a Transatlantic cruise next year and when we get to Europe plan on travelling around by train.... I have heard there is a service that will ship luggage home.... Does anyone know who that is and a contact number..... thanks

There are several companies specializing in this. One is http://www.luggagefree.com/. I have not used it, but it gets good reviews unlike some of its competitors.

 

I think you will be surprised at the expense this type of service -- particularly for international shipements.

 

Good luck

These services use DHL or Fedex. It's rather expensive but would be well worth it if you don't want to haul it around Europe. There was a list of them posted on the Cunard board a while back.

Thanks for the information I will check them out.

If you can find a box, you can ship it home via the Post Office. Will take about 3 weeks for surface, but the cost will be 1/3 of what the shipping services are.

 

I have shipped all kinds of stuff home from all over the world. And I am in the global logistics business, so know this works well. I insure heavily, but have NEVER had a problem. MAKE SURE you put USED CLOTHING-PERSONAL ITEMS on USA import manifest. Otherwise, Customs COULD charge you import duties on your own clothes.
