sit back, relax and stop stressing about those bags.
Travelling during the festive season can be expensive and we are all looking for ways to cut costs and keep prices low. Baggage shipping service, Send My Bag warns that the three million people who will be travelling this Christmas may be hit hard by baggage fees from low cost airlines.
With excess baggage fees costing between £10 and £30 per kilogram, Send My Bag is looking to minimise the stresses and strains of Christmas travels by offering a door-to-door shipping service for luggage.
Adam Ewart, Send My Bag founder, said: “I find the numbers of people travelling at Christmas and New Year staggering. Airports can be stressful places - and even more so at busy times.”
Not content with simply shipping suitcases, Send My Bag also offers a secure way to send presents to loved ones overseas for a more personal touch.
Adam said: “With so many people now having family and friends all over the world, sending gifts can often be an expensive option, so people may opt to send vouchers or cash.
"However, shipping carefully-wrapped, personally selected or handmade gifts is something many would still like to do. Send My Bag’s services can provide that option cost-effectively.”
After figures revealed that one in 45 bags gets lost, Send My Bag’s secure shipping means that relaxing on your travels will be much easier and you won’t be worrying about damaged or missing suitcases this Christmas.
Adam said: “Nothing is more upsetting than losing luggage or being charged extra on an outbound or return journey if you’ve been overzealous on the shopping front. Add to that the time incurred in waiting around at the luggage carousel and then having to get to your destination with bags in tow - it can be a real headache.”
Adam founded Send My Bag when he highlighted the demand from travellers, who were looking for reliable and cost-effective baggage shipping.
Send My Bag is becoming a popular service among students, who often travel with extra luggage and receive packages from home. The service is also increasingly popular with adventure sports holiday enthusiasts looking to ship their equipment to their destinations.
