Dear all

I have just received my tickets for my trip to the Cilento Coast. Included in the pack were details for a company specialising in couriering your bags for you to and from destination. "The Baggageman.com". Apparently they pick up your case a week before you are due to depart for your destination and the luggage will be waiting for you at your hotel the other end.

I wondered if anyone has used this service? I would be concerned with it being lost in transit myself. There is a charge obviously.

Best wishes.

Mel

Mel,

Not sure its something I would use, not a big issue taking luggage to the check in as most cases now have wheels.

Like you I'd be worried it would go missing.

Hello Mel,

Never used or heard of this service before but like you I would be concerned about it being lost. I prefer to have my luggage with me and I don't think I 'd like it to leave a week before me!

Kind regards

Ann

Hi Mel,

I had never heard of this before until a friend advised that the charges are quite extortionate! Watch out!

I have never heard of this company and even if I had I would not prefer to use it. It is no hassle taking the luggage with you and checking in at the airport.

Not for me at all! I prefer to keep my bags as close to me as possible. I even freak out waiting for them to come off the conveyor at the airport.

Hi all,

Thanks for the interest in the Baggageman service. This is a new offering from Just You, but our sister companies Voyages of Discovery & Swan Hellenic have been promoting it for a while with many happy customers. It is their experience that encouraged us to offer it to Just You customers. The Baggageman has reassured us that to date, they have never, ever lost a case. Whilst there is a price involved to ensure the safe passage of the luggage, for those people less able or willing to handle their luggage it may be of interest, and customers doing long tours may find it beneficial too as you could arrange for one case to be collected mid-tour and have another waiting for you with a clean lot of clothes!

Kindest regards,

Julia

Hi Julia

Thanks for more information about Baggageman service. I guess it would be beneficial despite the extra cost especially if you are doing a long tour. If and when I decide to do the New Zealand / Australia tours then I may consider using this service.
