- Avoid overloading or exceeding weight limits.

How to Lock Your Luggage
Domestic Shipments
To improve the security of your luggage when traveling within the country, use TSA-approved locks or strong cable ties. TSA-approved locks can be opened by security without breaking them, making it easy for them to check your bags. Cable ties also work well as a temporary option, helping to keep your luggage closed and safe from unwanted access after inspections.
International Shipments
For travel outside the country, you should only use cable ties to lock your luggage because customs officials may need to check it. Cable ties are light, flexible, and easy to use, helping to keep your bag closed while allowing customs to open it without problems or damaging your belongings. This way, you can avoid delays during your journey.
How to Label Your Luggage
Proper labeling ensures your luggage reaches its destination without delays.
- Place the shipping label and necessary documents inside a label pouch with the tracking barcode facing out.
- Attach the pouch securely to a luggage tag and fasten it to the top handle.
- Add an additional copy of the label and documents inside your luggage for backup.
- Avoid placing your luggage inside a box, as this may incur extra shipping fees.
- Please do not affix labels directly onto the surface of your luggage.
How to Measure Weight and Dimensions
To ensure accurate shipping costs, it's important to measure your luggage correctly.
Check Size and Weight Limits
- Use a Digital Scale: Weigh your luggage or box for an accurate measurement.
- Report Actual Weight: Ensure you report the exact weight to avoid any additional charges.
Measuring Dimensions
Carriers measure luggage or boxes using length and girth
- Length: Measure the longest side of your luggage or box.
- Girth: Measure the height and width of your luggage or box, then add them together.
Important Tips
- Measure at the Widest Point: Always measure the widest part of your luggage or box.
- Check Carrier Limits: Make sure your luggage falls within the weight and size limits to avoid extra fees.
