Hey guys, I'm thinking about selling a club or two, which is new territory for me. I was wondering, where can you buy the boxes to ship a club in and which shipping company seems to provide the best service (UPS/FedEx/USPS)? Originally, I had intended on using other boxes that clubs I had purchased came in to use when shipping. Unfortunately, my roommate was cleaning and decided that I didn't need them anymore and got rid of them...

Driver: 909D3 9.5*
Wood: 909F3 15*
Hybrid: a4 3-4H
Irons: MP-57 5-PW
Wedges: MP R 50.5 SM 54.12 MP R 58.10Putter: Pro Platinum Newport 2 Mid SlantCorrect me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...

Nobody else has replied so I'll help you out, I've had sold probably 2 dozen clubs on Ebay in the past year. As far as the boxes, you can buy them at any shipping location(except the Post Office). Too bad your roomate threw those other boxes out, just always hang on to them anytime you can, they come in handy. As far as UPS/FedEx/etc, I usually use USPS because they are the cheapest and easiest to deal with because there are Post Offices everywhere.
I see you live in Chicago, there's no shortage of stores there; a lot of times places just throw their old boxes out, maybe you could go to a golf store or pro shop and see if they have any. Hope this helps you out.....

I get my boxes for my local golf store. They will just give them to you. I have used UPS and USPS. Both have done the job for me.

Yup......... same here. The golf outlets here in Va. Beach are always glad to give me a few boxes.

I have also sold many clubs on eBay although I never buy there. As for boxes, I get mine at my club. I just ask the pro to save a few for me when I'm short. They get clubs in the mail almost everyday so there is never a shortage on boxes. As for putter, the Postal Service offers a Priority box for free that a putter will fit in.

+1 on going to your local golf store, many will give you boxes no prob. I prefer to ship FedEx home which cost on average about $11 for a single club.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
