I've actually really been wanting it to make more sense to ship like a footlocker from my home to my destination and expect it to be at my hotel when I arrive versus having to lug it throughout my regular transport. Even a few days in advance is fine by me. Pack the bulk of my week long trip, be able to pack even bulky items like snow gear and what not without worry, and have it just be there when I arrive sounds like a dream than carrying 100lbs of stuff through an airport and a cab/rental car and all that jazz.
- ghaff 2y agoThe services exist but they're not cheap and, as I discovered at one point, internationally you can run afoul of various customs vagaries. But my trip by ship earlier this year, dropping off my bag in NY after customs and having it shipped home was well worth the $250 or whatever it cost.
