Luggage Express is an American door-to-door luggage delivery service that was launched by parent company, Universal Express. Luggage Express arranged to pick up travelers' baggage at their home or office prior to a trip and have it waiting at the hotel or resort in the destination city.[1]
In 2007, parent company Universal Express collapsed as a result of CEO, Richard Altomare issuing billions of illegal and unregistered shares of stock. A receiver was appointed federal judge at the request of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to oversee the divestiture of assets.[2] The receiver sold Luggage Express to Sports Express which ultimately became part of Luggage Forward.
