I never check bags anymore. If I need more than a carry on I ship a box to my destination and it’s waiting for me when I get there. Then I ship it home.
Because I don’t check any bags I can check in online and don’t have to check in at the airport. I also am on and off the plane in a flash.
Great idea. One of our local mail centers ships golf club anywhere in the U.S. for just $5/set if you happen to use their mail box facilities. We use their address for all our business mail and take advantage of their golf club offer even though we always drive now. Just gives us a little more room to carry other stuff in the car carrier.
