It allows you to travel with minimal carryons, avoid worrying about abvailable overhead bin space ands/or waiting for checked baggage to be delivered.
Why don't you give it a try?

I've been doing this for years in lieu of checking bags on longer trips when it is impossible to fit everything I need into a carryon. It's only useful if you have no risk of changing your travel plans to another city, etc. The other downside is that you have to have everything ready to ship the day before you leave, but that is not a big deal if you have time to prepare.
