TRAVELERS LIGHTEN THEIR LOAD BY SHIPPING LUGGAGE AT THE UPS STORE

            With many airlines now charging passengers for each checked bag, travelers are looking at alternatives for a more convenient, cost-effective way to get their luggage to its destination. The UPS Store^® is helping to ease travelers’ burdens by shipping their luggage ahead. 

In addition, The UPS Store has certified packing experts who specialize in packing odd, oversized items, such as skis, golf clubs and fishing poles - items travelers would prefer to have waiting at their destination rather than lugging them around an airport.

Travelers can potentially save time and money by shipping their luggage at The UPS Store, which also lessens the hassle of dealing with luggage at the airport.

One of the many frustrations that travelers deal with is lost or misplaced luggage. The UPS Store offers a variety of shipping options that allow travelers to track their luggage to its final destination, such as UPS Next Day Air^®, UPS 2^nd Day Air^®, UPS 3 Day Select^SM, and UPS Ground.

Tips for shipping luggage:

• If possible, put luggage in a box. Doing this will help protect the luggage as well as provide a suitable surface for the shipping label. It will also help avoid additional handling charges.
• Put an additional address label inside the luggage or package in case the outside label is damaged or lost.
• By using a shipping option like UPS, you can track your luggage all the way to its destination via cell phones, PDAs or other web-enabled wireless devices.
• Use our online cost calculator to research the best rate and most economical shipping option. Planning ahead allows you to choose a less expensive shipping option like UPS Ground.

• The UPS Store does not recommend shipping luggage internationally.
• Due to restrictions, The UPS Store cannot ship hazardous materials, including: colognes and perfumes, aerosol sprays, nail polish, and cigarette lighters via air.
