With bike rides and beach days still in abundance, the last things on our minds are buying books and crashing classes. However, as many students have already experienced the chaotic calamity when it comes to registering, it's hard to surpass the thought of the fall semester approaching.
Whether you are a new or returning student, we all know that the beginning of a new year also entails a profusion of stress and pressure. Acquiring an ideal schedule, moving into the residence halls or finding a new place to live is never an easy task. But before you decide that the stress is too much to take, rest assured, a vacation is right around the corner.
Although vacations are meant for times of relaxation, they can also have some added stress. Fortunately, an independent company called Baggage Quest is helping students to lighten their load and relieve a little bit of that added anxiety.
Established in 2004 by David Williams and Bryan Luirette, Baggage Quest, LLC is a unique door-to-door luggage delivery service providing assistance to more than 200 countries worldwide. As airlines are now tacking on extra fees for extra baggage, pillows, blankets and even "complimentary" drinks, it's no wonder that travelers are embittered toward the thought of stepping foot on a plane.
Luckily, Baggage Quest gives weary travelers the opportunity to bypass the aggravation of time-consuming check-in lines, the dreaded baggage carousel and even the risk of lost or redirected luggage by simply picking up and delivering luggage ahead of time.
Curious about how exactly it works? Baggage Quest's user-friendly Web site allows individuals to obtain pricing and availability through a quick quote. Need to ship four large bags to Japan?

Through affordable prices and frequent promotional discounts, Baggage Quest has been noted as one of the top ranked door-to-door luggage delivery services in the world. Needless to say, their recent partnership with www.Orbitz.com has unquestionably opened many doors as well, allowing the company to generate considerable waves in the air travel industry.
But seeing as how we are bombarded with thousands of gimmicks these days, some might wonder what types of techniques Baggage Quest employs in its practice in order to set it apart from its competitors.
"The common issue that we've seen with other luggage shipping services is their inability to take those extra precautionary steps to ensure that their customers' belongings arrive on time," CEO of Baggage Quest, LLC., Dave Williams said.
"Throughout the course of our business, we have found that the adhesive labels that many other companies use, do not attach accordingly to canvas luggage, thereby running the chance to detach during transit. In order to avoid such a possibility, we utilize specially designed labels which attach to all types of luggage to ensure against a hindrance in arrival time."
Aside from its innovative labels, Baggage Quest also offers its customers a standard $500 on-time delivery guarantee and also reimburses up to $500 in any last-minute expenses if a delivery fails to meet its projected delivery date.
In addition, Baggage Quest has recently launched its "Back to School" "2 for 1" promotion in order to simplify travels for new or returning college students. From Aug. 17, 2008 through Sept. 30, students, families and friends can ship two large bags coast-to-coast in the U.S. for only $129.
"In our four years of operation, we are proud to say that we have not lost one bag," Williams said. "We always strive to meet the needs of each and every one of our customers, whether they are 20 or 90 years old."
