1-877-BELLHOPDoor-To-Door Luggage ServiceFor air travelers who are fed up with lugging their luggage, wrestling with bulky items like golf clubs or trade show materials, and biting their fingernails at the airport carousel, TraveLite Enterprises offers sweet relief 1-877-BELLHOP. With a single call, TraveLite’s "virtual bellhop" will come to your home, office or dormitory on the assigned date, pick up your bags and have them waiting at your destination when you arrive. On the return trip, luggage is retrieved from your hotel or any other site and transported back to your home in a safe and timely manner. You can "travel light," unencumbered by the baggage burden. No special packaging is required, and there is no need to weigh, measure and fill out forms for individual bags. Prices begin as low as $65, with economy, second-day air, next-day air and corporate discount options to and from more than 150 U.S. cities. Luggage is automatically insured at standard airline levels and more comprehensive insurance is available at a small additional charge. "Everyone complains about the inconvenience and delays of carrying their luggage, and the problem has gotten even worse with the carry-on crackdown recently announced by the airlines," said William Cippola, Managing Partner of TraveLite. "Our bellhop service is a very attractive alternative for the traveling public, including the elderly or disabled, families traveling with small children, students moving from one place to another, businesspeople carrying business materials, sports enthusiasts like skiers and golfers who travel with unwieldy equipment, or anyone who wants to avoid the checked baggage nightmare." TraveLite grew out of Cippola’s experience as president of Information Marketing Services, Inc. (IMS), a decade-old business dedicated to package shipment. For the last five years, Cippola has taken advantage of his affiliation with IMS to have door-to-door luggage service when he flies. He packs a day early, has his luggage picked up, and then carries only a few items on the plane. Reasoning that others would benefit from the same express luggage shipment service, Cippola decided to use the expertise gained through IMS’s shipping, billing, warehousing and scheduling activities to launch a shipping company devoted strictly to the needs of the air traveler. TraveLite debuted in 1998 with a single route Chicago-Orlando. The test-drive was so successful that the service quickly expanded to its present 150-city, coast-to-coast offering.
