Under the right circumstances, we will collect same day and can offer the following transit times to key destinations:
To package your luggage for delivery, simply place it in a box that is large enough to house it comfortably. If the contents of your suitcase are prone to damage, add packaging peanuts or newspaper to keep the suitcase from moving and to give it some buffering. Seal up the box using packaging tape and attach the shipping documents that we autofill and send you. We recommend using a document wallet to attach the documents to your parcel.
Unlike when your luggage disappears at baggage check-in, excess baggage sent by ParcelHero can be tracked from door to door so you know exactly where your shipment is at any point in its journey. Simply log-in to see if your luggage has arrived at your hotel or resort.
It is worth checking in advance of booking that your hotel or resort is capable of receiving delivery. And to let them know to expect a shipment in your name. Any established hotel will be happy to accommodate you regarding this, but if your luggage is travelling to a smaller guesthouse or a hired villa, make sure someone is available to receive the delivery.
