Contact your local post office or a shipping company such as UPS or Federal Express. You can also hire services such as Luggage Express, Luggage Ahead and Luggage Forward to pick your luggage up from your home and ship it to your destination.
Purchase all of the packing materials that you need to secure your luggage, and arrange the shipment of your items. Make sure that your destination address is correct and that your packages do not contain items that are banned by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA,) such as drugs, weapons, hazardous materials or explosives.
Contact your destination and let someone know that your luggage is on the way. If your luggage is going to a residence, make sure that someone is available to accept it. If your destination is a hotel, ask the hotel management staff to secure your items until you arrive.
Plan for your items to arrive at least 24 hours before you get to your destination. You'll have a better trip knowing that your luggage is safe and secure.
