The holidays are fast approaching and we wanted to give you a heads-up on how to take some of the hassle out of this holiday season. When traveling to visit family this Thanksgiving, avoid the seemingly endless lines at the airport by “checking your bags” at FedEx Office^®. Not only can you fly past the ticket counter straight to security, but your luggage will be waiting for you at mom’s house or the hotel when you arrive at your destination.

For last-minute packers, stop by FedEx Office on the way to the airport and team members will help overnight your suitcases to your destination. Travelers with time to plan and pack in advance will save the most by shipping your bags via FedEx Ground a few days before you depart. More than 80 percent of FedEx Ground packages are delivered in 3 days or less. And while you can ship suitcases just as they are, FedEx Office also offers extra protection with medium (29” x 20” x 10”) and large (29” x 23” x 11”) bags that wrap around your suitcases or bags to prevent wear and tear. Best part? They’re recyclable and puncture and tear-resistant.

Another tip to avoid stress in the coming months is to ship your Christmas gifts instead of bringing them on the plane when you travel. You’re not allowed to carry on or check wrapped gifts in your luggage, but you can certainly ship them ahead! Plus, FedEx Office team members can pack and ship your gifts for you, taking out all the hassle. FedEx Office has a wide range of boxes, even ones specifically designed for golf bags and clubs. All the great steals you get on Black Friday while visiting relatives can also be shipped back home – no more over-stuffed and over-weight luggage. Now you can spend more time with family and less time worrying about your precious cargo arriving safely!
