How to get your clubs there - The Luggage Club Every traveler knows the frustrations associated with checked baggage on commercial airlines, lost and damaged luggage, and just getting bags off the carousel and transferred to ground transportation can be a real chore. Finally, there is the increasing chance, as airlines tighten the rules, that luggage will exceed size or weight limits, resulting in substantial added expense - and, increasingly, in the carrier's refusal to take oversize luggage at any price. With The Luggage Club, travelers get the convenience of door-to-door luggage delivery with pick-up for luggage, golf clubs, skis, and more; when and where the traveler designates and delivers them directly to the traveler's final destination. No luggage security hassles; no need to transport luggage to and from the airport; no check-in lines; no waiting for luggage at the destination airport; no lugging bags to ground transport; almost no chance of luggage being lost; and, finally, no need to tip porters or other baggage handlers along the way. Shipping your baggage and goods in advance when traveling internationally just makes sense! The Luggage Club is committed to making all of your travel experiences as convenient as possible. Send your clubs and luggage anywhere in the world hassle free. Receive a 10% discount through Elite. Visit The Luggage Club for details.
