" Everyone could use an extra hand sometimes, especially when it comes to hauling heavy boxes, suitcases or bags. Whether you&amp;#039;re headed to the airport with too much in tow, trying to store the contents of your old apartment or attempting to donate those boxes cluttering up the garage, it can sometimes feel like more trouble than it&amp;#039;s worth. Luckily, there are new services that will come to your rescue, so read on for three sites that take care of all the heavy lifting.  LuggageFree.com  Thanks to today&amp;#039;s strict airline regulations, traveling with even one extra bag can cost you some serious cash. And then there&amp;#039;s the hassle of lugging everything to the airport and getting it onto connecting flights. A better option: Ship your things ahead of time with LuggageFree.com. Schedule a pickup by phone or email, and as quickly as six hours later someone will come to your house and pick up your bags (or sporting goods, bike, etc). Pack them just as you would if you were going to the airport\u2014they&amp;#039;ll take care of wrapping them in plastic and having them delivered to your destination. Pricing is based on where your bags are going, how quickly you&amp;#039;d like them to arrive and how much they weigh. They also offer insurance and tracking information, so you won&amp;#039;t have to worry about your bathing suit being rerouted to Toronto as you touch down in Florida.

StorageByTheBox.com  Unless you have a car big enough (or the time to make multiple trips) to haul all of your old boxes or baby gear to a rental unit, storing them can be a hassle. But StorageByTheBox.com makes it easy: Pack up your stuff using free boxes, bubble wrap and tape they provide, schedule your shipment online, print out a free FedEx label and call FedEx to come pick them up. Since you only pay for the amount of space you need (instead of reserving a whole unit), prices are low: $3 per cubic foot or $5 per box (24&amp;quot; x 12&amp;quot; x 12&amp;quot;). When you want your stuff back, simply log on and select how quickly you&amp;#039;d like your boxes delivered. Photo courtesy of StorageByTheBox.com.  PickUpPlease.org Most people can quickly point out at least 10 things in their home they&amp;#039;d like to donate. But they usually don&amp;#039;t, because of the hassle\u2014many services are specific about what they accept, and dropoff locations are often inconvenient. PickUpPlease.org makes donating a snap. Log on and schedule a time for pickup, then just bag or box it all up on your designated day and someone will come get it and send it where it needs to go. Won&amp;#039;t be home? You can even leave your goods outside for the driver. Photo courtesy of PickUpPlease.org. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
