Visit your local post office or package shipping service to ship something ahead to your hotel. If you haven't already packaged your items, you can purchase a box at the post office that will fit your items and protect them during shipping.
Place your return address and shipping address on your package. Your return address goes on the top left-hand corner of your package and should follow this format:
Your Name
Your home address
Your city, state and postal code
Your shipping address goes in the middle of the package in the following format:
Your Name
C/O Your Hotel Name
Hotel Address
Hotel city, state and zip code
Your check-in date
Pay for shipping. Post offices and shipping stores accept cash and credit cards -- some accept personal checks. Choose a method of shipping that correlates with your arrival dates and stay at your hotel. If you make the mistake of choosing a slow method of shipping, you run the risk of your package being delivered after your stay at the hotel has ended.
