Has anybody ever hired this outfit ?

I went to a San Juan 'Clave one year and the airline lost my luggage,
a couple of fly rods, vest, waders, boots, the whole shebang off on
some magical mystery tour. Luckily I was able to spend the night in
a hotel close to the ABQ airport and the airline delivered the gear
in the middle of the night averting a costly disaster.

What with post 9-11 carry-on restrictions and the rest of the folderol,
I'm wondering if something like this might be worth it.


I'd almost be willing to bet that they just coordinate one of the standard
shipping mechanisms with the local messenger service that applies. I bet
with their shipping arrangements and volume discounts and such, that a run
of the mill consumer would have a tough time arranging this on their own as
cheaply.
