The One Travel Hack That'll Revolutionize Your Next Family Vacation

How It Works
Traveling with kids means packing a lot of stuff. Whether you’re flying to Disney for the week, heading on a tropical vacation to the Caribbean or taking an international trip, the amount of bags adds up quickly. And packing a lot of stuff often means lugging bulky bags through the airport, train station or cruise port( not to mention, the amount of time wasted standing in the long bag-check line and again at baggage claim upon your arrival). If renting a vehicle, you’ll likely have to get an oversized SUV, which will cost you even more money.
But we’ve found a solution to the overpacking-with-kids conundrum: ShipGo.
We recently discovered this helpful service that offers stress-free luggage shipping from your home (or preferred location) to your vacation destination anywhere in the world.
It’s easier than you think. All you have to do is provide your shipping details, luggage sizes, preferred shipping dates and payment information online (or if you prefer, by phone). ShipGo will then mail you your shipping labels for you to attach to each luggage piece, along with packing instructions based on your destination. (You can also print them at any time).
On the day of your departure, simply place your bags at your predetermined pickup location with the shipping luggage tags attached. (You also have the option to drop off your luggage at a local carrier store.) In either scenario, you can track your luggage every step of the way so you can enjoy traveling with the kids. You’ll also receive email notifications, providing you with peace of mind that your bags are taken care of.
As your vacation comes to an end, just pack your bags back up (don’t forget about the souvenirs that you didn’t plan on buying!), attach your labels and leave them at the hotel concierge or designated shipping location.
