Have anyone used a baggage company to send suitcases / boxes to uni?

Looking at the possibility of this to make life easier - have seen a recommendation on another site called My Baggage which appears to be very cheap - wondering if anyone has used them or has any other recommendationns?

Yes have JUST used sendmybag to pick up a bag from DS uni in California and ship it home. He is at the end of a year abroad but going on a road trip and didn’t want to lug all his stuff. They were v good. Picked up his suitcase on Saturday, said it would take 5 days, within 90 minutes of pick up I got a message saying it was going to be deliver by DHL on Tuesday, and it was. He even put his new MacBook Pro in his unlocked case 😱 but it arrived safe and sound! Highly recommend.

Many thanks, that's really helpful (and sounds like an amazing adventure for your DS!)

My Baggage is great - picked up two suitcase, a duffel bag and four boxes from nephew’s house in London and deposited them at Aberdeen Uni. My nephew then got the train (or maybe flew) up. No way my sister was driving all that way!

Yes, D1 has used I think SendMyBag for a couple of cases to send home from University, was great.
