I don't fly, so I'm just kind of curious if, in the US, we've reached the point where it's cheaper to mail your luggage to the destination if you have time.

- Fezzik 9y agoIt may be close... my only point of reference is I recently shipped an older 50 lb Mac Pro from Oregon to the Midwest (I forget where, exactly) and that was $42.00, with insurance, through USPS Priority Mail. I paid online which gives you a discount, but shipping rectangular boxes is cheap.
- entee 9y agoDepends, for things like bikes (which cost even more to fly with at most airlines) it sometimes makes sense to ship. I don't think it's worth it for most bags though, $25 (common fee) is a pretty low price compared to what it costs to ship 10s of pounds. I guess maybe ground? But yeah it's expensive to ship things too.
