With my kids finally old enough to enjoy family vacations without the chaos of a double stroller, I can genuinely say I love our getaways. Traveling has become much simpler, but packing for the whole family remains a daunting task. That’s where DUFL comes in—a game-changing app that promises to elevate your travel experience by handling all your packing and shipping needs.
Bill Thompson, the CEO of DUFL, shared with Business Insider that he founded the app after growing frustrated with the tedious process of packing and managing luggage while traveling.
How DUFL Works
So here’s the lowdown: you download the app, create an account, and request a DUFL suitcase, which arrives at your doorstep like a gift from the travel gods. Simply pack your belongings, send the suitcase back via FedEx, and when it reaches the DUFL facility, their team will take inventory by snapping photos and meticulously repacking your items. When you’re ready to embark on your journey, they’ll ship your suitcase directly to your destination.
The Ultimate Travel Dream
Isn’t this the ultimate travel dream? But wait, it gets better! Once your vacation wraps up and reality beckons, DUFL will retrieve your suitcase from your hotel, clean everything inside, and store it for your next adventure. Although this service seems primarily designed for business travelers who often pack the same outfits, it could still alleviate some stress for anyone juggling work trips.
Cost of Convenience
Now, you might be wondering about the cost of this convenience. The storage service is priced at $10 per month, and each roundtrip shipment of your bag will set you back $99. It may seem a bit steep, but considering the hassle of packing and the current airline fees for checked bags, it might just be worth it. Just keep in mind that if you decide to store your belongings with DUFL, you may find yourself needing to refresh your wardrobe. But hey, who said convenience comes cheap?
