Save Money, Ship Your Luggage:
"You may spend less by using a shipping company -- rather than the airlines -- to get your bags to your destination.You may be able to save money by shipping your luggage rather than checking it in the next time you fly. The idea might sound absurd. But if you do the math – as Airfarewatchdog.com has done for you in this chart -- you’ll see that it would cost you less in some cases to send your bags to your destination by FedEx, UPS or U.S. Postal Service ground shipping."
My interest was piqued by this article because I found it soon after watching a CNBC special about the outrageous fees that airlines are tacking on to the cost of your flight.
An added benefit to separate shipping, besides cost savings, is that you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your luggage wont get lost when you use major carriers like FedEx and UPS.
It's a short article, but well worth the read.
