MissX asked:

I am moving overseas in a few months. And because of the baggage weight limit of 20kg for aeroplane luggage, I will not be able to take all my possessions. I would like to know the safest and cheapest way to get the rest of my gear couriered overseas. Any ideas?
haha, why would they have United States Postal Service in Australia lol. try again.
I am shipping to Qatar, in the Middle East. It’s not huge stuff like furniture or anything. But just things like lots of shoes, books and just personal belongings that wont make it in the 20kg weight limit of aeroplane luggage.

My fiance and I are traveling to Rome via Iberia airlines from Chicago, we have a connection in Madrid, all I have ever heard about Iberia is that they have a tendency to lose luggage. We are trying not to check any luggage. I have 2 40 liter backpacks and a couple of rolling carryons we will bring with us on the plane. The trip is 12 days, 4 in rome and 7 on a cruise. I pack light, 2 weeks in 1 rolling carry-on

First question is do you think we will have any problem with those?

Second, my fiance has curly hair and requires lots of hair products, what is the best way to get those to rome? Buy travel sizes, ship some to our hotel, or purchase while there?
I am also a platinum member from AA and a Sapphire member with One World, which Iberia belongs to.

Hello
I need to ship a luggage abroad, and I found the website of a company called Pack it Send it.

Has anyone used it? Is it reliable and safe?
If you’ve never used it, but care to have a look at the website, do you think it might be a serious company?

Thank you…

A D asked:

I am going to visit my sister for a month, and I want to paint while I’m there. I’m going by plane so I can’t take it with me in my luggage. Is it okay to ship oil paint (they’re in tubes) or are they considered hazardous materials? Thanks!

Ava asked:

Well im going to camp up in North Carolina in about two weeks. I am flying up there and the camp says to ship your luggage a week ahead. I am shipping a large trunk and a VERY large duffel bag with all my clothing and other stuff in it (UPS). Is it okay to ship a duffel bag? What i am saying is, will the zippers of the bag come undone in the process or be tampered with? Is there a chance of losing anything?

On August 17 i will be going on the Disney Cruise through the Panama Canal. The ship ends up in FLorida so I will be staying a few days in a villa at the Animal Kingdom. I need to pack light because of the plane ride back home. I don’t want my luggage to be overweight. What should i do?

AliciaDaniels asked:

I’m getting married in Aruba and would like to puchase many of the decorative items/favors etc. in the US. I would prefer to send items to the resorts wedding coordinator (via FedEx or DHL) a week ahead of the trip so that I know they’ve arrived (and have a couple of days to execute a back up plan if they dont) and not have to worry about carting around extra bags and connecting flights and lost luggage.

How do I find out if I will be charged taxes (or duty, I’m not exactly sure what to call it) on shipments ahead of time? And what are the charges? I also wonder, do the same fees apply when checking bags and going through airport customs? TIA

Michael E asked:

I have a bunch of sporting equipment to take with me – What’s the cheapest way to get two 50lb (28×19x19) boxes over there? I have an address to send them to, but FedEx want $500 to ship them as “personal effects”.

Is there a cheaper option?

Mama-loo asked:

I am going on a Mediterranean cruise with my 4 year old. Will I be able to pack his favorite snacks, cereal, crackers, juices in our luggage? He can be a finicky eater even when there’s kids buffet cruise food options available. I just want to bring something along so he can have snacks for when we’re on excursions & day trips.
