Recommending a Luggage Forwarding service

I used a luggage forwarding service when returning to Boston from our wintering in AZ. I had an oversize roll-on bag that airlines won’t accept any longer weighing about 90 Lbs. packed. I wanted not to deal with the transporting nor airport nor anything. I told them I was in no hurry and wanted the cheapest cost available. One week shipping, 90 Lbs $119. It was picked up and arrived at my home a day after we did.

They surveyed my opinion on their service and said I would be glad to introduce their service on Internet forums I’m a member of. One thing led to another and ultimately I was transfered to the sender of the note that follows.

He said he would be glad to offer us discounts as outlined below.

Do I need to say that I have no financial interest in the above, just a satisfied customer


Why not just ship your stuff UPS?

If I want anything down at my AZ place I just ship out of the office, takes four days from Oregon to AZ with UPS ground.

On the flip side if I buy or have stuff in AZ that I want in Oregon I just UPS it back.

I agree with you, it is great. No checked bags, no hassle packing bags to the airport etc. I fly Alliegiant quite a bit and they charge $20/30 per checked bag. For less than that I can ship a couple of big boxes UPS.

I had a friend that was visiting us on a golf trip and had to get back to Oregon in a hurry. I had him leave his clubs and I shipped them to Oregon on Fed Ex ground. Took 3-4 days and they were delivered to his front door in Portland. Total cost was $75. Such a deal!

These guys seem to specialize in golf clubs and surf boards and the like.

I’m not sure I could get UPS to do 90 pounds and get $1000 in insurance for $119?

golf clubs and other odd size and shaped stuff maybe but 90lb oversize package with $1k ins. via fedx is about $72 from phoenix to boston

btw, the link doesn’t work
