What can go wrong when shipping luggage to a hotel or hostel and how to avoid it?
When shipping luggage to a hotel or hostel, couriers occasionally face some issues when trying to make the delivery. Customers often ask, ‘how can I successfully ship to or from a hotel, without any hassles?’ Here are some common issues with hotel parcel delivery, and how you can avoid unnecessary delays.
Wrong details
It happens that there are different departments responsible for receiving packages. So, when you write for example “reception” in the address field and it should go to “storage” or any other department, things could get mixed up. To prevent this always double-check the details that were provided by the hotel. It is even better to ask for such information in writing.
No access
It might be that there is a valet parking or another reason that there is no direct access to the main entrance or the entrance specified.
Wrong names
Make sure that the hotel room is booked in the same name as the receiver of the package in order not to complicate things.
Change of plansIt happens that your plans change for various reasons. Of course, you can’t always predict this. But when you know this beforehand it might be a better idea to ship your package to a nearby parcel locker. This way you know for sure that your items are stored in perfect condition.
Additional charges
After the delivery, some hotels apply extra charges for storing your package on a daily basis. Always check the policy of the accommodation facility to avoid unpleasant surprises when it comes to delivering your luggage to a hostel or a hotel.
