LVgirl asked:

I am planning to relocate out of state. (Southern CA to WV). I am not able to drive across the country in my car. I am going to fly there and have my belongings shipped at a later time. Hiring a moving company and van is way out of my budget. Heavy items in boxes will be expensive to ship. Can I take 2 suitcases and 1 carry on bag? One suitcase will have clothes, the other will have shoes and some important books. The carry on bag will have personal items and my business portfolio. Is that allowed? What is the limit? Any other suggestions?
Much appreciated.

respectingopinions asked:

My wife and I are moving from Montreal to the UK. We will have somewhere between 5-6 luggage bags. We did our research and found that with the airlines we chose, it’d cost us something like at least $600 to bring them with us.

We’ve looked into bringing only essentials, and shipping boxes some other way, but can’t find any shipping companies that charge any less than it would cost us by air.

Does anyone have experience shipping overseas, and what did you find was the more cost effective, even without time restrictions.

thank you!

In order to reduce import tax & duty to the states from the U.K or vice versa, what would be the most economical way to bring in a mountain bike that weighs around 24.5 lbs
( 11 kilos ). I ask as I was told that if you bring in a bike as luggage and can prove it is not brand new it will not be as expensive. Different airlines have given confusing answers…

Misunderstood Computer God asked:

I would like to have my luggage shipped to my resort in Mexico instead of taking it on the plane. This is mostly because I will only have an hour between flights on the way back and I don’t want to have to wait for my checked luggage. Also, it would be nice to travel lightly.

It looks like I can have it shipped there for about $150 via USPS 3-day. I can ship it back for about $50 using the Mexican Post Office.

My wife says a friend “read” that shipping stuff to Mexico is unreliable, and that it could take a few weeks to make it to the resort. I understand that there’s always a chance that this will happen (heck, the airlines lost my luggage once and I didn’t get it back until the vacation was over!) but I’m doubtful it’s as unreliable as she thinks.

Does anyone have any experience with shipping to Mexico? Anyone have experience with shipping luggage to Mexico? I’d be happy to use someone like Luggage Free, but they’re more like $450 each way.

Thanks!

geminicatlver asked:

Do they open your luggage when it’s in holding and poke through it? I’m not flying to the port, so I don’t have to deal with the airlines, just worried about what would happen if they found liquor in the suitcase? or if they even look for it at all.

Is that what you really think? asked:

I have read the airlines websites – but what I want to know if CAN I take shipping box as a piece of luggage?

The dimensions are fine 18×18x18 and the weight is fine… but is there any problem using a box? (ups box)

Yeah I know it sounds “strange” but I dont need to buy more suit cases – I already have 4 and a box is cheap and i can just throw it away/recycle it.
there are 3 of us going. so 6 check in bags with the new feeds ($15 +$25 = $40 X3 = $120)

I just want to know if 2 of the bags can be shipping boxes? IS the BOX a problem?
- it is within the weight and dimensions
