Most of us would feel lost without access to a laptop. We use them to communicate with friends, to buy clothes and gifts, to do our weekly shopping and to watch TV and movies. It is not surprising, therefore, that many people wish to ship their laptop with Send My Bag when they go abroad. However, as a laptop is a delicate electrical item, there is the possibility that a laptop may become damaged in transit, and customers choose to ship their laptop at their own risk. However, there are some steps that can be taken to package a laptop securely and so minimise the risk of damage.

In anticipation of National Walk in the Park Day (30th March, 2018), Send My Bag brings you the ten best National Parks of America. All remarkable in their own right, the USA’s National Parks cover many different terrains and landscapes, from desert to volcanic islands, from cave systems to woodland. Any trip to the US would be enhanced by a visit to one or several of the National Parks. These are excellent locations for trying out some outdoor pursuits, or you can just take it easy and simply admire the beauty of the Parks. Should you wish to take up outdoor pursuits in the National Parks, you can do so using your own equipment without the hassle of trying to check it into the hold of your plane and without the risk of excess baggage fees. Instead, you can send your hiking gear, skis or bike with Send My Bag and have them waiting for you at your hotel on arrival. Send My Bag can ship luggage and equipment across the US and internationally, meaning anyone can plan their own perfect trip to one or more of the USA’s National Parks.
