The Vegas Box - what happens in Vegas can finally stay in Vegas

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I went to a conference where they had a Rent a Box. For $10, you got a medium-sized shipping box that stayed in a manned booth area and you could drop by throughout the conference and toss stuff in to it. Then, on the last day of the conference, they had UPS on site to tape up and ship the boxes wherever you needed them to go.

Useful for sending literature, handouts, and other goodies back to the office rather than having to lug pounds and pounds of paper on the plane.

Vegas Box seems to be in a similar vein.

Though given the cost of storage units around where I live, wouldn't it be cheaper to rent a storage closet than a box? Seems like you are paying a premium for such a small container.

That's brilliant! I just got back from a conference and spent the night before leaving going through all my swag and such and left a bunch of stuff I would have loved to bring home but didn't want to pay excess baggage charges. As it was I filled my laptop case with so many books and literature (in addition to two computers) I could barely lift it but it was allowed on as carry on :-)
