When my daughter Olivia was at Manchester University, she left a suitcase of items she wouldn't need over the summer with friends. Then her plans changed and she would be transferring to a London univeristy.
The suitcase was heavy and we worked it out that even with a very cheap day return, the cost of taking taxis to and from the railway stations was a lot more than having the case collected and delivered.
I first heard about Carry My Luggage when I was researching University A Survival Guide, so I thought it would be good to put the service to the test. Nothing could have been simpler. A quick phone call and email and a convenient collection time was arranged with next day (and timed) delivery in London. The fee for Olivia's very heavy case was £32.90 – the taxi fare from Euston alone would have been over £25!
Everything ran like clockwork and I would really recommend Carry My Luggage for all those occasions when you just don't have the time or inclination to lug around heavy items or, like me, you don't drive so that isn't an option.
For European destinations Carry My Luggage must collect at least three business days prior to travel and at least ten days in advance of travel to the USA.
