It’s that easy!

For your convenience, we have many camps from across the U.S. auto-populated in our system. But don’t panic if you don’t see your camp on the list! Simply type your camp’s information manually, so we have it for your order.

We will then store that information so that it’s available the next time you ship bags through us.

Yes, there are limits to the size and weight of each bag. Additional fees apply to bags that exceed those limits.

A package weighing 150 lbs. (68 kg) or less and measuring greater than 130 inches (330 cm) in combined length and girth will be classified by FedEx Ground as an “oversize” package.

Bags that exceed those dimensions are subject to oversize baggage charges of $80 plus additional fees.

Tip: If you purchased a bag described as “colossal” or “oversize,” it’s likely it will have a linear dimension of more than 90 inches.

Although locking isn’t required, we recommend securing the bag with a lock or zip tie to prevent the zipper from opening in transit.

Approximately 10 days before your scheduled ship date, you’ll receive your shipping labels by email so that you can print them. You’ll also find them in the  “My Account”section of our website.

No! You do not need to box your duffel bags. Please be sure to secure any zippers and remove straps before shipment.

We recommend placing an order with us at least two weeks in advance of when you will want to ship your bags so you have time to get the supplies you need. Shipping supplies are available at a FedEx Officeor a store that provides FedEx shipping services.

Check with the camp to determine when it will need your bags. For camps on the west coast, we recommend a ship date of at least 10 business days in advance and at least 7 days in advance for camps elsewhere in the U.S. This will help ensure timely delivery in the event of unforeseen delays in transit. Please be aware that FedEx Ground does not pick up on weekends.

We offer both FedEx Ground and Express service to and from camps. Please note that registration for Express service is only available within 10 days of your desired ship date.

Alternatively, you can drop your baggage off at any FedEx Office locationat your convenience.

When you place your order to have bags shipped to camp, you can select “Round Trip” service to schedule your bag’s return, as well.

If you haven’t selected Round Trip service, you can place a new order to have your bags shipped “From Camp.”

We will coordinate efforts with the camp to prepare your child’s bags for return shipping. We will email shipping labels to the camp before the end of your child’s session. Please be sure to enter your camp’s email address (if it’s not already populated) in our online order form to ensure labels go to the right place.

No. You do not need to be home at the time of pickup or delivery. For pickup, please make sure bags are in a location where the FedEx driver can easily see and access them.

For delivery, select the signature waiver option when filling out the shipment form so that the driver will drop off bags if you’re not at home.*

*Be aware that waiving signature requirements nullifies any applicable insurance protection if a bag is stolen.

The declared value of a package is the carrier’s maximum liability in connection with a shipment of that package. It includes but is not limited to any loss, damage, delay, mis-delivery, or non-delivery.

Please note, that if your baggage is not boxed, the bag is considered the shipping “container” and is not covered under the declared value coverage.
