shipping golf club

[jermzkill]

I'm selling a club on eBay and I was wonder what is the best way to ship the club to keep it safe but for cheap. Where can I get a a long small box? Which shipping service is cheaper UPS or USPS?

If there is a post on this please direct me to it!!

I used to work for UPS in the Northeast Hub. This is probably the worst time to ship a golf club - it’s called “Peak Season” at UPS. The volume swells to 200% the average daily volume. That means lots of parcels on the belts and lots of pissed-off proletariat workers. But if you must ship a golf club; make sure to fill all the empty space with either bubble-wrap or packing paper so that the integrity of the oblong box stays in tact and the club doesn't bounce around inside, tape it like you were wrapping an Egyptian mummy, and use DHL.

Not sure about the shipping companies and costs. However, if you go to a local pro shop or golf store, more than likely they will have a room full of boxes and will let you take your pick. Most places I have seen will have a closet or spot in the backroom with old boxes just in case they have to ship something.

If you simply can't find a box, go to a pro shop, or a golf galaxy or the like and just ask if you could have a box big enough to ship what your shipping. I also agree to do your best to fill the void within the box. Def. less chance for damage.
