We are moving back to the States and will be spending a few days in the Netherlands and Paris. We will have a lot of baggage- maybe 16.. Do we leave most of it in a locker at the airport in Schiphol? We would stay one night in Schiphol, go to Paris and then 2 nights back in Schiphol. Very safe? Thank you.

Yes- Schiphol left luggage - both lockers and manual I believe are IME very safe - did you check sending it back by some other means than plane- could be cheaper with shipping companies?

https://www.schiphol.nl/en/facilitie...-term-storage/ tells you all about the luggage lockers at Schiphol.

Wouldn't it be easier and more cost effective to ship some of it, instead of flying with 16 suitcases?

Where are you now living in Europe - in Netherlands?

Have you checked shipping vs cost of plane bags?

Curious to know what airlines may charge for all those extra bags.

I'd check with FedEx or some place - the cost of storing those bags will add up too.
