Ship Luggage, Travel Happy

Our pricing starts at $99/bag. Pricing is available online or by calling +1 617-482-1100.

Luggage Forward uses baggage categories similar to what you would find with airlines; combining both weight and size to create simple categories, making it easy to generate pricing on our website without the exact weight or dimensions of your luggage.

Our all-inclusive pricing is more predictable and typically less expensive than a per-pound rate because we do not have any additional fees or surcharges.

Pricing is determined based on the following three factors:

1. Origin and destination
2. Luggage category
3. Delivery speed

No, your luggage does not have to be boxed. You can pack your luggage as you normally would for airline travel, no additional packaging is necessary.

One of the advantages of using Luggage Forward is that your soft and hard sided luggage can be shipped as is. However, sporting equipment should have adequate padding around any fragile or precision parts to ensure that they are protected during transit.

Domestic Shipments

Bags traveling within a single country must be locked. Failure to lock items will void your right to file a claim for lost or missing contents.

International Shipments

Bags shipped between two countries must be unlocked as they may have to be opened as a normal part of the customs screening process. If bags are locked, including TSA approved locks, and customs cannot open an item then the lock or seal may have to be broken.

Locking any item traveling internationally can cause extended delays and will void Luggage Forward's industry leading on-time guarantee.
