If you're flying international, you get one bag for free.
If flying domestic, you can pay for FC or renew your DL AmEx account.
Delta has too much domestic baggage anyway, and should be requiring zones 2-4 to check bags or not carry on to ensure on time departures.
OP, I do hope you are able to find an affordable solution to get your bags to your destination, but I think Delta is generally too accommodating in the baggage department to ensure on-time departures.
