Abstract
An on-demand shared luggage system and method comprising collapsible luggage assets or pieces of luggage. Each luggage asset has a reprogrammable label display configured to display shipping label data for a customer order. A central processing system receives an incoming customer order to use one or more luggage assets. The central processing system determines the specific luggage asset, carrier, and route to fulfill a customer order within the customer's requested parameters. The collapsed luggage asset assigned to the customer order is then delivered to a customer receiving location by a receiving location delivery date, expanded for packing customer belongings, and then delivered to a customer destination location by a destination location delivery date. Upon completion of the customer order, the luggage asset may be immediately assigned to a new customer order, loaded with new shipping label data, and delivered directly to a new customer receiving address, as determined by the central processing system.
