Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Luggage Post looks great… How does it work?

    Do you need somewhere to store your luggage? You’ve come to the right place! Luggage Post is a simple concept based on AirBnB. We work with a network of over 130 shops and hotels who have secure extra space. Customers place bookings through our website to store in one of our convenient locations. Once you’ve booked you’ll get a confirmation e-mail - all you need to do is show this on your phone to the Agent when you drop off your luggage at the storage location. Also remember to bring an ID or passport

  2. Okay, seems easy. Is it safe?

    Yes, absolutely. All of our Agents have a secure area for storing your luggage and you will receive a uniquely numbered security seal for your zips - plus, each bag is insured for up to £750.

  3. Where can I find an Agent?

    Simply type in your location into the search bar, and the website will automatically search locations in order of proximity. If we don’t have an Agent in your city, write to us at info@luggagepost.com and we’ll find you one! If your business would make a good Agent, get in touch!

  4. What sort of things can I store with Luggage Post?

    Our main focus is business stock/luggage, but we can personal luggage, bags, store bikes, sports equipment and strollers too, let us know if you have a particular request and we’ll do our best to accommodate it!

  5. Can I leave my passport/ other travel documents in my bag?

    No, no passports or travel documents should be left within your bags while they are stored with Luggage Post. Keep travel documents with you at all times.

  6. What about my valuable items? Are they insured?

    Please be advised that valuables, including electronics and travel documents, are stored at your own risk. Agent’s insurance policy - brought to you by Guardhog, underwritten by Hiscox - covers your storage up to £750 against loss, theft and damage. We recommend you don’t store luggage worth more than this value, because in the unlikely event of an incident, you will not be able to claim more than £750 per luggage. Our t&cs prohibit storage of certain items, including cash and securities. Please see them, and our insurance page, for more details.

  7. Do I need to book in advance?

    Yes, bookings need to be made online but bookings are valid as soon as they are placed, so you can book them last minute and out and about if you have a smartphone!

  8. And does the booking have to be made online?

    Bookings need to be made online through the website for insurance and security purposes. The booking process only takes a minute and the website is mobile friendly. Cash payments in store are not accepted. You are not protected by our insurance cover if you do not book online.

  9. Help! I’m running late, can I still collect my luggage?

    No worries! We know plans change. The drop off/ pick up times are only intended as an estimate. Just double check the Agent’s opening hours, and that your booking is within the length of time you paid for, and there won’t be any problems!

  10. Can I store my bag for longer than a few days?

    If you require long-term storage, get in touch on info@luggagepost.com and we’ll get back to you with a discounted quote.

  11. What do I need to bring with me on the day?

    You only need your proof of booking (on your phone is fine!), a copy of your photo ID or passport to show the Agent - and your bags! You will be given a ticket that goes with your bag, which goes with

  12. Is there a size limit on what I can store?

    We don’t charge by size, just by number of bags - one price fits all! Get in touch if you have any specific requirements, we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

  13. I don’t need to store my bags anymore, can I get a refund?

    Of course, we have a flexible refund policy! Please send us an email to info@luggagepost.com with your reservation ID and we’ll get that done for you ASAP.

  14. My plans have changed, can I amend my booking?

    Sure thing, just email us on info@luggagepost.com with your reservation ID and the changes you want to make, we’ll help you out from there.

  15. Can I drop something off for someone else to pick up?

    Due to our insurance policy, we cannot facilitate exchanges. The same person who drops off the bag needs to collect it too.

For Agents

Make Easy Money Renting Your Storage Space. Make Money And Attract New Customers By Renting Your Storage Space

  1. I’d like to earn some extra cash… How can I sign up to become an Agent?

    To become an Agent, you need to run a business with storage space for at least 5 bags. The most successful Agents have late hours and/ or are close to transport hubs or tourist attractions.

  2. What’s in it for me as an Agent?

    At Luggage Post we aim to connect local shops, warehouses, and hotels who have unused secure space (such as a back room or basement) with tourists who need somewhere to store their bags. Luggage Post is a great way to monetise this spare space! You make money on every bag you store, right from the first bag, and there are no set up fees. Many of our Agents make around £100 a month, and those in prime locations can make up to £1000 a month. As Luggage Post grows, these figures will only rise. Our research shows that 25% of customers go on to buy something from the Agent when they drop off their luggage.

  3. Count me in! What do I need to do next?

    It’s easy: Luggage Post takes care of everything in terms of organisation, administration and insurance. You’ll receive email updates of when bookings come in, and you can check them online on your Agent Dashboard, and all you need to do is follow the security procedure when a customer drops their luggage with you. This involves checking their booking reference, ID, asking security questions and storing their bags safely until they return. We’ll send you a Welcome Pack with everything you need!

  4. Is there a vetting process?

    Security is our top priority at Luggage Post; it’s equally important for us, for customers, and for Agents to have confidence in our business and running smooth operations. So Agents will only be approved and featured on our website once they have passed our checks. These checks include: having a secure storage space (either a basement, backroom or garage) that is only available to Agent staff; the space is lockable and there is always a member of staff available to monitor access to it; the Luggage Post team must be satisfied that you are able to competently run the bag drop and collection process. We are looking for friendly staff who will give customers confidence in using Luggage Post and encourage them to return. We periodically run inspections of our Agents to ensure operations are up to standards. We respond quickly to any feedback less than 5-star. Agents found to be negligent and not up to our standard will be given one final warning, before being dropped from our network.
