Have you ever heard of anyone doing this or will the European concierge look at me like I have 3 heads when I try to get assistance? I'm Platinum Premier Elite status.

Thanks!
No worries, but shipping will be somewhat expensive, as you can imagine. But I can see, if you mail a 10-lb box to each hotel, how this could save you money. I would, however, not mail it back out from EU-US - that can get really prohibitive.
