"Best" club packaging job you have seen on a club purchase

[FairwayFred]

Bought a club off ebay last week. This showed up today. Club was unhurt, I could not stop laughing. Earlier this year I got a club someone just wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and a layer of tape and sent. Amazing. What's the "best" you have seen?

I’ve got nothing, but that is amazing.

No picture, but one guy sent back a set of clubs in a hand made box, made from wood. It looked like a coffin. Carefully nailed together and packed very well. It weighed a ton. To this day, I regret not keeping it (this was before I had a cell phone with a camera).

I had one from a couple years ago. Responded to an ad from a few hours away from me on Craigslist asking if he would ship the club to me at my cost. Guy agreed and I transferred some funds (direct banking) in good faith. Guy never sent the item and ghosted me completely.

 

After some google sleuthing I found his linkedin page and threatened to reach out to his employer and contact the local police...no response again but two days later the club showed up in a fedex box like the one above, but with no tape on the shaft or anything, and no padding on the head at all. By some miracle there was no damage and the club was in great shape!

Bought a wedge once and the guy took a piece of cardboard and made a taco out of it. The USPS made it a wonton. I got a refund.

Looks like the saddest Christmas tree ever

A few years ago I had someone on ebay ship the irons I bought wrapped in bubble wrap in a 10" round Sonotube(concrete form used in construction) filled with packing peanuts.

Love your description and I had the same last month, bought a new Srixon ZU85 driving iron with a Recoil shaft and it arrived in a "cardboard taco".

 

The seller was a large retailer down here so I gave them neutral ebay feedback that said how awful the packaging was and it was a miracle the shaft wasn't broken.

 

I can't believe they didn't have a box to use, will never buy a club from them from now on.

Hahahaha this is awesome

I strongly suspect the club in that packaging exceeds the legal limit 460cc.

I got a used set of irons once off this site, just thrown in the box 3-pw, no bubble wrap or anything.

Exquisite.

That looks considerably more difficult than a standard club box.

[ian-500]

That looks like something off Minecraft....

This is actually quite imaginative. At least the clubs were well protected.

Good golly, can't believe they got there in 1 piece. What lunatics send things like that? I know some of my Ebay sells are sent in franken-boxes, but they are 'boxes'!, maybe taping 2 together, or cutting down a big box to shave off 6 inches of length and knocking it down from 7-inch sides to 4-inch sides, but those are crazy.

I love club jobs.

That reminds me of some of the tape jobs I did on my hockey sticks when I was like 8 years old :*

I can't believe the USPS or any carrier would even except that as a package. I am surprised that it wasn't damaged. I have sent stuff in USPS mail tubes that get beat when they get to the receiver. I got a great kick out of seeing the pictures.

Why not, they can just pass the blame anywhere they want. Had Fedex 'lose' a package in their warehouse whent he label fell off and they just left it on a shelf for a month until I started calling. Also opened a box of mint R9 tpB heads I had shipped and took out all but the 3/4 and sent it on its way. Love losing sales because of this, but isn't their fault...
