Just be aware that TSA will take extra notice of boxes.

We are moving our daughter to college and thought, since we are allotted 3 bags each, it would be cheaper than shipping all that she needs.

1. You will need to check in extra early to allow them the time to Xray/thoroughly search with enough time to make it on your flight.

- we thought we had done so but TSA was extra slow - our boxes made it on 2 flights later and they were not delivered until much later that evening. so...if you need them to arrive with you, add time to your arrival at the airport.

2. Big Shocker - TSA has no respect!!! -

- We had brand new, helpful handles for carrying our boxes and they took them all. Even though we took extra time to make sure they were secured in a way that left TSA easy access to open them for inspection.
- They unpacked the carefully arranged boxes and repacked them haphazardly.
- Even with Fragile stamped EVERYWHERE, the boxes were banged up

Nothing was broken but I filed a claim and was told they were not responsible.


Not a reason not to use the service due to the savings regarding to shipping costs, just be aware......UPS they are not!!!
