Cheapest Method to Ship Golfbags

hogan234 · March 1, 2021

Any suggestions on cheap bag shipping services? Based on a box that's approx. 46"x15"x15" and approx. 5lbs, USPS and FedEx and UPS rates are more than the value of the bag.

For some reason when I sell through ebay I get better UPS rates than what is posted online. Usually I'll get $30+ direct, but $20 or so through ebay's rates, even with inputting the proper weight and sizes.

Additionally I would look into shortening the box if I were you. Most bags are 40 inches tall or less, IIRC most bags I've shipped are right on the 38 inch number, and that changes things pretty significantly at this weight and size.

Same for me I have a 2018 Hoofer that I want to sell but shipping is too high. I may try eBay.

Get a much smaller box (go to a golf store and see if they have a box from a bag) Then use shippo for UPS ground

Ive gone to UPS and its been $30 to send a few states over, and then its $40 to ship across the country. FedEx seems to be roughly $10 more and USPS is an overall mess, so I wouldnt trust them to ship a used pair of gym socks.

I’ve shipped many bags and the Ping boxes are perfect. Leave it to engineers to know the dimensions to cheat the shippers crazy fees. I’ve measured and the Ping boxes are 37”x13”x10”.

^+1, 37x13x10 is key. Can still be pricey if going a long distance, ebay shipping discount helps for sure. I used fedex home delivery on ebay recently for around $30 from VA to OR.
