Jaunted is reporting that pretty much $800 million dollars of checked baggage charges were handed over to the airlines this year. In a funds-strapped industry, I cannot see them waving individuals charges out of the goodness in their hearts anytime quickly. So the masterminds behind UPS saw an chance, and they came up with a very little innovation that will give travelers a viable selection so we can, the moment and for all, stick it to the airlines.
Enter: the UPS Luggage Box. For a “competitive price” (all-around $35), UPS will stick your bag in a box, ship it wherever you want, and give you an alternative for return postage in the same box. That’s what Brown can do for you.
Hmm, what to do with your bag? According to Jaunted, here are the two choices. Pick wisely Neo:
Haul it to the airport and up to a ticket counter. Wait in line. Test it, pay the checked baggage charge and put it by means of the airline’s scanner. View as an airline employee corrals your bag with other luggage and then leave it behind. At your destination, invest time anxiously hoping it arrives at baggage claim. Schlep it out of the airport and off to your hotel.
Or:
Drag your luggage to the UPS retailer and stick it in the box. Pay out for it. Leave. Contact your hotel to inform them to be expecting a box. Pick it up from the concierge at your destination hotel.
Looks like a quite very simple preference to me.
