My Luggage is Lost or Damaged

If your luggage does not arrive or arrives damaged:

      Contact Takumo support immediately with your booking reference

      We will open an inquiry with the carrier on your behalf

      For damaged items, keep the packaging and take photographs immediately — these are required for a carrier claim

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send luggage from one hotel to another?

Yes. At Step 4 of the booking, select Hotel as the destination type and search for your next hotel by name. Your luggage will be delivered to the front desk of your next hotel.

Can I send luggage to the airport?

Yes. At Step 4, select Airport and choose your departure airport and the relevant terminal luggage counter. Check the airport's luggage storage hours — delivery times vary by airport.

What if I am not at the destination when my luggage arrives?

For hotel destinations the front desk will hold your luggage until you check in. For home addresses the carrier will leave a delivery notice and attempt redelivery. Use the carrier's redelivery service via the tracking link to arrange a convenient time.

Can I send luggage internationally from any hotel?

International shipping is available at hotels that have international carrier connections configured. If you do not see international carrier options in Step 3, the hotel may only have domestic carriers activated. Ask the front desk.
