How to send luggage to next hotel
Use luggage forwarding for the heavy bag, keep one overnight bag with you, and confirm the next hotel name exactly.
Steps
- Ask your hotel or a convenience store whether they handle luggage forwarding.
- Confirm the next hotel name, phone number, and check-in date before filling the form.
- Keep medicine, chargers, passport, and one change of clothes with you.
- Send the large bag early when moving between distant cities.
Common mistakes
- Sending all essentials and leaving yourself with nothing for the night.
- Writing only the city name instead of the exact hotel.
- Expecting same-day delivery on long-distance routes without checking.
