Dealing with luggage can be one of the biggest headaches of air travel. According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation, airlines lose or mishandle nearly three million bags annually. Checking a suitcase means hoping it arrives on time while carrying it on means battling for overhead bin space.

Ship & Play offers a solution by allowing travelers to ship their luggage ahead of time and move through the airport hassle-free without worrying about hauling bags through crowded terminals or waiting in long check-in lines.  

Ship & Play started in 2011 under the ShipSticks brand, offering a concierge-style service that takes the stress out of traveling with bulky or expensive gear. Travelers can send their items directly to their destination, whether it’s luggage, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, or bikes, avoiding damage, delays, and extra baggage fees. shipplay.com
