I need to ship two boards. Earlier today I packaged them up in snowboard boxes and took them to UPS. Asked for UPS Ground in the lower 48 with tracking and they wanted $150 for both. Who can ship this for cheaper?
I know this is an old thread but a big brain move is to sell it to yourself on ebay and then buy and print a shipping label from ebay for the correct weight and dimensions for a discount. Also just printing the label online like others have said is better than nothing. Ship the board separate from boots and bindings. Package board tight in cardboard with extra cardboard covering the rails and tips. If you can cover the top of the board in foam or carboard to keep tips from flexing that is best.I need to ship two boards, earlier today I packaged them up in snowboard boxes and took them to UPS.
