Frequently Asked Questions
 
What is Sports Expressing / Luggage Shipping / Luggage Delivery?

Sports Expressing is a premium travel service that provides door-to-door luggage and sports equipment delivery.

 
What types of non-luggage items can I ship?

Family items such as car seats, strollers, and portable cribs can also be forwarded. Sports Express always strives to meet your travel needs. For non-standard shipments, please call (866) 416-7447 to speak with a Forwarding Specialist to place your order.

 
Can I have my luggage picked up or delivered on the weekends?

Pick-ups and drop-offs are available on Saturday in most locations. Our services are currently unavailable on Sunday. Please call (866) 416-7447 to speak with a Forwarding Specialist about scheduling a Saturday pick up or delivery.

 
How far in advance can I schedule a pickup?

Sports Express's Automated Routing Control™ system allows you to create a shipment up to 180 days prior to the pickup of the first leg of your trip. Same day pick up is available in select areas, and must be booked by calling (866) 416-7447.

 
What if my luggage arrives late?

In the rare case that your luggage arrives after the quoted date given at booking for a domestic shipment, Sports Express will waive the shipping charge for any item that arrives late. Sports Express also will reimburse you for expenses deemed to be directly related to the delay up to an amount of $500 per piece of luggage. If you are shipping sports equipment and your shipment is late, Sports Express will not only cover the cost of comparable rental equipment, but one of our Forwarding Specialists will work to arrange for the rentals to be waiting for you upon your arrival. Because international shipments are subject to the customs clearance process, they cannot be guaranteed for delivery on a specific day. Sports Express uses only express air service internationally and allows additional time to account for customs clearance. For more information on our service guarantees please refer to our Terms of Service.

 
Can I have my luggage picked up from multiple locations and dropped off at the same location?

Yes, Sports Express is flexible when to coordinating shipments. We offer a number of different premium services that accommodate your varying needs. For non-standard shipments, please call (866) 416-7447 and speak to a Forwarding Specialist to place your order.

 
Do you service airports?

Typically we do not service airport. There are numerous security barriers that prevent us from delivering first class service at airport locations. However, we do strive to meet the unique requirements of our clients. Please contact a Forwarding Specialist at (866) 416-7447 to discuss the details of your request.

 
Why should I choose Sports Express instead of shipping my luggage myself?

Sports Express provides the utmost in travel convenience. Our service begins at your doorstep and continues to your destination. We deliver to hotel rooms, cruise cabins, or other preferred locations. Our domestic service is guaranteed. Any item that is sent via our network (with the exception of any disallowed items) includes $500 of complimentary insurance. We do not require you to specially wrap or package your luggage. For our international shipments, we are specialists in expediting customs clearance for your personal items. Your personal belongings are carefully monitored by our agents to ensure expedited clearance.

 
Can my bags be picked up if I am not at home?

Yes. Many customers prefer to leave their bags in a designated area that is accessible for Sports Express's agents to pick up. When scheduling your pick up, you may request to have the bags picked up inside a side door, on a porch, in a garage, at the back door, etc. Bags may also be left with a doorman. If none of the above options are available, customers can use our PrecisePickup™ service which will guarantee that your bags are picked up within a specified one hour window. Alternatively, customers may contact Sports Express to locate the nearest drop off station.

 
Does my luggage need to be packaged or wrapped?

No. Both soft and hard sided luggage can be shipped as is. Sporting equipment and other non-luggage items may require specific packaging to insure that they are adequately protected during the shipment. Please refer to the Terms of Service or the Luggage Size Guidelines link for more information regarding allowable shipping containers and related insurance and liability details.

 
If I forward my bags to a hotel, can I have them arrive earlier than my check in time?

Yes. Most hotels and resorts will allow their guests to forward luggage that arrives earlier than their check-in time. In many cases, customers will arrange to have their luggage is delivered to the hotel the day before their arrival. This ensures that the luggage will be waiting for them at their arrival. When scheduling a shipment, a Forwarding Specialist will contact the hotel on behalf of the client to make all the necessary shipping arrangements.
