One way to avoid luggage fees is to ship your belongings in advance.

(NAPSI)—If you would rather avoid long airport lines and checked-luggage fees, there is an economical travel option. Consider shipping gifts, clothing and other belongings to your destination.

Here are a few tips from FedEx:

• Before shipping luggage, contact your destination to ensure that someone can accept and securely store your luggage.

• Visit a FedEx office location or one of its shipping centers to obtain sturdy boxes, tie-on tags and a luggage-shipping bag.

• Ensure that your shipping label is securely attached. Place additional address labels on and in luggage.

• For shipping regulations, to calculate shipping rates and to create and print shipping labels, visit www.fedex.com.

• Shipping luggage outside the U.S.? Call 1-800-GO-FedEx to ask about regulations and duties.
