Learn How to Ship Golf Clubs in Seconds

The first step in learning how to ship golf clubs is to remove your club heads from their shaft, if applicable. Be sure to mark their settings with a sharpie or colored tape and wrap your clubheads in bubble wrap, a golf towel, or headcover before stowing them in a pocket of your golf bag.

A stiff arm is also a great way to keep your shafts from breaking when learning how to ship golf clubs. A stiff arm will act as the tallest point in your bag and take the majority of any force to the top of the bag. We also recommend using bubble wrap or packing paper to take up any additional space in the top of your golf bag between the shafts.

If you’re in the early steps of learning how to ship golf clubs, please be advised that ShipGo requires you to ship golf clubs in a soft travel bag, hard case, or box. Place your golf clubs in your soft travel bag or hard case and secure all buckles and zippers. If shipping in a box, be sure to tape all flaps and openings closed. Your shipping label may be taped to the box, but avoid taping it over any of the flaps.

If you’re shipping in a soft travel bag or hard case, your shipping label may be taped onto any hard, plastic surface. If a surface of this kind doesn’t exist, don’t tape your label to any canvas material on the exterior of your bag, a key tip when learning how to ship golf clubs. Use a fly tag or an oversized luggage tag instead to attach your shipping label to your soft travel bag or hard case. If your order qualifies, these tags will be mailed to you before your scheduled shipping date. Otherwise, tags can be purchased from a nearby FedEx or UPS Store.
