Unless you see what is inside the package I would say keep well clear. Transporting a package for someone you don't know is asking for trouble. What if the package contains drugs and you get caught?

Hi, NOODLE1987,

Be attention: only you make sure the package goods has no problem or the package owner is well-known friend, pls don't help such package easily to avoid trouble.

Yours sincerely,

ni hao... thanks for the advice.. i think i was mistaken.. because i before i was sure that i read in a lonely planet's book that there are companies that you can use which pay for a percentage of your flight to carry their documents or something along those lines.. but i can't find it anyway.. and i agree with you about carrying other people's luggage.,, it would be asking for trouble..

thanks for your help

There are or were such companies...maybe it has stopped with the current security, but as dave and others say, make sure you see the contents before you take them.

Actually for many years the checkin staff ask if you packed everything yrself
