DHL Express, the world's leading international express services provider, is helping eliminate the burden of traveling with luggage for global leisure travelers. Passengers can forward their baggage, sports equipment or family items directly to their destination through Luggage Forward, a premier door-to-door luggage shipping service that has partnered with DHL Express as its preferred international carrier.

Through the partnership, Luggage Forward leverages the global shipping network of DHL Express to help travelers avoid one of the most frustrating parts of air travel and assure a faster, more relaxing alternative to long check-in lines and baggage carousel delays.

"Our international clients travel with the peace of mind knowing that their luggage is handled by an international specialist like DHL Express that has more experience than any other carrier in moving shipments across borders," said Zeke Adkins, Co-Founder of Luggage Forward. "We're pleased to have worked with DHL Express since 2006 to bring the utmost convenience and reliability to the travel experience."

Luggage Forward can send luggage directly to a traveler's hotel, golf course, vacation home or even a cruise ship in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia or virtually any of the 220 countries and territories served by DHL Express. Travelers simply book online or by phone and Luggage Forward will automatically select a shipping carrier based upon reliability and speed. On average, DHL Express handles the transportation for more than 90% of the inbound U.S. luggage shipments booked by Luggage Forward customers as well as majority of shipments to and between international points.

Luggage Forward completes all required country-specific shipping and Customs documentation on behalf of their clients. DHL Express team members - all of whom are extensively trained on Customs regulations and international shipping complexities - are then able to expedite the luggage shipments through Customs and greatly reduce any potential delays or issues.
