Tips for labeling the box

Shipping Boxes

It is essential to follow correct packing rules to ensure the safe delivery of your box.

There is an 80% chance that this box may be lost or delayed due to issues with the shipping label, which may be unreadable, come off, or get damaged during transit.

Best Way To Attach Labels

You can either use a label pouch or securely attach the label to the side of the box with clear tape. **DO NOT** place the label in the box opening or fold it in the corners.

Preparing Sports Equipment

Ship your skis and bags directly to the resort to save the stress of flying with your bulky ski gear.

Packing Golf Clubs

You can use either a hard or soft travel case to pack your golf clubs. Similar to airline travel, we recommend providing sufficient padding and support for the club heads.

Packing Skis and Snowboards

A hard or soft travel case can be used to transport skis and snowboards. Just as you would during airline travel, make sure your bindings and tips are adequately cushioned.

Packing Bicycle

Use a bicycle travel case or sturdy corrugated bicycle box. Disassemble the bike and secure each part in the bike case or box. Fill the empty space with packing fillings in bike box
