When do you get your ME luggage tags?

[undertheseas]

I got our plane tickets in the mail from CRO but I didn't get the ME luggage tags. Our vacation is still 6 weeks away, do they mail the tags when it is closer to time to go?

TIA!!!

Ours arrived exactly one week before our trip. They are sent by DHL or FedEx. Don't worry - sounds like you're "on schedule"!

Thanks Beccasmom! I guess I was panicking, I just want it to go smoothly so I can talk DH into going back again next year LOL!!

I called today and was told to expect our tags approx. 20 days before departure. We'll see

We got ours around 2 weeks before our arrival date.

We are 18 days out and haven't seen them yet. My travel agent (AAA) is thinking they will be in this week.

We got ours exactly 21 days out. The came via USPS. Regular old First class mail.

We leave in 4 days, still haven't received ours yet.

Girlrea I hope yours comes in the mail today! Yikes!

Thanks for your help guys, now I know to wait another month. Why is September so far away??

We received our ME tags by regular mail 7/18, and leaving for the BWI 8/7.

We left for Disney on July 6 and got our tags on July 4 by FedEx (we're in Canada)

You'd think in the age of the internet, ME could provide you with an access code to sign onto a website and print your own tags, therefore avoiding the "when will my tags get here" stress.

Our tags came 21 days out.

We leave 7/31 & no tags yet.

I called DME directly & they told me that they are printed 21 days prior to your arrival & you could receive them up to a few days before your trip. If you don't receive them than you can either claim your own luggage & drag it on the bus or describe your luggage to a CM & they will retrieve it for you - has anyone had this experience? Sounds scary to me, lol.

We leave in 5 days and haven't gotten ours yet. When I called they told me they couldn't tell me if they'll go out because a 3rd party does the ticketing.
