Packing luggage
To ensure the safe delivery of your luggage, please ensure you follow proper packing procedures. You can check out our tips and even watch a video to see how it's done below:
- You can ship hard-sided suitcases, soft-sided suitcases, and duffel bags - We recommend boxing them for extra protection
- You can pack almost anything you'd normally pack to bring on a plane
- Ensure your items are nice and snug so they don't move around in your bag
- Secure your bag shut with a lock or zip tie
Pro-Tip
Sometimes when you ship your luggage the clothes are in your suitcase longer then when you check a bag so we recommend rolling clothes instead of folding to reduce wrinkles - trust us, it really does work.
Packing a box
You can either box your packed luggage or you can pack your items directly inside of a box. Boxes are great way to transport your belongings, and our carriers ship millions of boxes every day. Just be sure to use a new double-sided corrugated box with no wear and tear.
Boxed luggage -
When shipping your luggage in a box, be sure to choose a box that is not much larger than the bag itself. This will help prevent it from moving around too much in transit! If your bag is heavy, we recommend using a heavy-duty box.
Boxed non-luggage
To ensure the safe delivery of your box, it is very important to ensure proper packing guidelines are followed. You can check out our tips and even watch a video to see how it's done below:
- Any fragile or loose items must be packed separately in proper cushioning material
- Fill any empty space with cushioning materials such as bubble wrap or clothing
- Don't pack more than your box can handle - If it loses its "boxy" shape, it's overpacked
Looking for packing supplies?
We've found that Amazon has the best price on boxes, and they offer a really good value for an 18 pack of boxes and packing supplies that work well for our carry on luggage category.

- Use protective padding around the heads
- Secure your case shut with a lock or zip tie
Packing skis/snowboard
To ensure the safe delivery of your skis or snowboard, please ensure you follow proper packing procedures. You can check out our tips and even watch a video to see how it's done below:
- Must be packed in either a soft-sided travel case, hard-sided travel case, or a box
- Use protective padding around the bindings
- Secure your case shut with a lock or zip tie
