Luggage Forward: Ship bags or oversize items such as golf clubs and skis to more than 180 countries, with same-day pickup available. You can track luggage online or get a call or e-mail when it arrives.
Michael Martin, the managing editor of JetSetReport.com, writes about the growing trend of shipping luggage ahead. He says "Considered one of the best in the breed, Luggage Forward offers door-to-door service to more than 200 countries for bags of virtually any size."
The rates airlines charge for behemoth bags seem to be comparable to shipping rates. Luggage Forward, for example, would charge $349 to ship a 75-pound bag from Los Angeles to London in an estimated two to five business days, according to the website. And a quick quote from UPS online showed a cost of more than $500.
