Air Travelers Can Find Relief in Shipping Luggage to and From Destinations With PostalAnnex+
Posted on: Friday, 17 November 2006, 12:00 CST
This just in! The Transportation Department reported that airlines misrouted 33 percent more luggage in August than last year, and 92 percent more in September!
For some, this creates additional stress beyond what they might already incur in traveling (those with medical needs, small children, business travelers with equipment, etc).
PostalAnnex+ offers a solution to reduce the stress of traveling.
"It's so frustrating to be told at a security checkpoint you can't bring something with you on the plane," explained Steve Goble, director of marketing and communications for PostalAnnex+. "Often you end up just throwing the item away. Even with a revised list available from the Transportation Security Administration, there still is leeway for the security officers to determine what is or is not allowable. Many items, such as makeup, which is now banned from carry-ons, are very expensive to replace. We offer a solution to this problem."
At PostalAnnex+, expert, knowledgeable staff can explain how to use FedEx or UPS to ship luggage ahead of traveling to a hotel, for instance. Especially when thought out in advance, it's quite affordable. For instance, a 40lb suitcase from San Diego to the middle of the country might cost as low as $31.41 if sent just three days in advance of traveling.
Also, PostalAnnex+ can provide travelers a "Return Shipment" label to take with them on their trip. Upon completion of their visit, people place the label on the suitcase to go back home and ask the hotel to place in their outgoing UPS or FedEx shipments.
All shipments are traceable and can carry insurance up to $50,000 depending on how much the customer wishes to purchase, a real plus versus airline baggage handling.
For more information on shipping luggage, contact your local PostalAnnex+, or visit the company's Web site at www.postalannex.com.
