Don't always work that well. I had 2 bad experiences.
1. Bag did not turn up at HKG, travelled to SBW a few days later, did not turn up. Took many phone calls to discover they try to deliver it to my address at HKG after I had left even though I did update them with my new location and contact number.
2. Bag did not turn up at KUL, travelled to SIN a few days later, same as above.
