When it’s time to hit the slopes, your skis are essential to your experience. But let’s face it—lugging them through the airport, dealing with oversized baggage fees, and hoping they make it in one piece can turn excitement into anxiety. That’s why so many skiers choose to ship their skis with TripHero, ensuring their equipment arrives safely, securely, and ready for adventure. But what actually happens to your skis once you hand them over to us? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how TripHero takes care of your skis every step of the way.
1. Labeling and Pick-Up: Your TripHero Experience Begins
Whether you’re shipping from home, a hotel, or vacation rental, we make the pickup process as seamless as possible. Once you place your order, we will create and print labels and send them to you, along with luggage tags and zip ties to attach your labels to your bags. If you are staying at a hotel, we will send the labels straight to your hotel. We also schedule a FedEx pick up at your pick up location for the scheduled shipment date, so you don’t need to worry about dropping your items at a FedEx store. The best part about all of this? It’s included at no extra charge!
2. Careful Handling and Safe Transportation
TripHero partners with FedEx, who has extensive experience with specialty equipment like skis, snowboards, and other sporting gear. They follow strict handling guidelines to ensure your equipment remains safe, from our facility to your destination. Unlike regular airline baggage services, your skis won’t be thrown around or stacked under heavy luggage, reducing the risk of damage.
3. Tracking Every Step of the Way
One of the best parts of shipping with TripHero is the peace of mind that comes with real-time tracking. Once your skis are on their way, you’ll receive a tracking number to monitor their journey. You can check where your skis are at any time and get updates on estimated arrival times. Our customer support team is also available to answer any questions or provide assistance if you have concerns along the way.
4. On-Time Delivery at Your Destination
Timing is everything, especially when you’re ready to hit the slopes. TripHero ensures that your skis arrive before you do, ready to be picked up at your hotel, ski lodge, or vacation rental. We coordinate with your accommodation so that your skis are there and waiting when you arrive. No more starting your ski trip with a stop at baggage claim or worrying if your gear made it through airport handling.
5. What If Plans Change? Flexible Delivery Options
Travel plans sometimes change, and TripHero is here to help. If you need to adjust the delivery address or timing of your shipment, just let us know. Our customer service team will work with you to redirect your skis to your new destination so that you don’t miss a beat.
6. Ready to Hit the Slopes—No Hassle, No Stress
Once your skis arrive, they’re all set to hit the snow. Because they’ve been handled with care, you won’t need to worry about damage from rough baggage handling or lost equipment. And you’ll be able to start your vacation without the hassle of transporting heavy gear through the airport.
