Luggage Forward is a service that ships your luggage directly from your home to your destination, so you don’t have to drag it through airports or wait at baggage claim. It’s popular with travellers who want to travel light or avoid the stress of checking bags, especially those with multiple pieces or oddly sized items like sports equipment. The service covers international shipments too, which is handy if you’re heading outside Europe or the UK.
The process is fairly straightforward: you book online, schedule a pickup, then your bags are collected and delivered to your address abroad or at home. They offer tracking so you can keep an eye on your luggage during transit. Prices can feel a bit steep compared to just checking bags with an airline, but it’s the convenience and peace of mind that appeal most. You’re paying for less hassle and fewer worries about lost luggage.
Customer reviews are mostly positive, though a few mention delays or issues with customer support if things go wrong. It’s not something you’d use for a quick weekend trip, but for longer journeys or if you have fragile or valuable luggage, it’s worth considering. The site is clear enough, but the lack of ongoing deals or discount codes can make it harder to get a bargain.
