Personal Porter: Luggage tracking by SMS
Personal Porter is an Australia company offering travellers a global door-to-door luggage delivery service with real-time tracking via SMS. [via Travel Blackboard]
Launched last week in Sydney, it aims to reduce queues at check-in and move passengers quicker through airports.
At Sydney International Airport alone, 2 bags are lost averagely each morning and 9,000 items are mishandled in three months. Preventing this is the issue addressed by this new innovation.
How does Personal Porter work ?
1. Confirm your on-line booking details, which include the pick-up & delivery address information, the items of luggage that you require delivering and print off the documentation that Personal Porter produces for you.
2. Pack your bags just as if you would if you were taking your luggage to the airport and securely attach the documentation.
3. Personal Porter representatives will then pickup your luggage a few days before your own departure date.
4. It is now Personal Porter's commitment to ensure that your luggage is delivered securely and reliably to the destination you have requested.
