Cheap way to post golf clubs

[Skypilot]

I've been selling a few old clubs using Hermes.
Now the second one I've sent has been "lost"

Anyone got any cost effective recommendations ?
The 120 cm length seems to be a sticking point

Yes the 120 length is the sticking point.

If it's a driver diagonal boxing is the answer.

The only time I have used parcelforce is when buyer has agreed the extra cost.

parcel2go offer a range of couriers

dpd local

Max length appear to be 2.5 M with parcel2go

Hermes.

Much cheaper than Royal Mail with the added advantage of a free game of "I wonder if my parcel will ever see the light of day again?"

Try and sell locally on facebook marketplace.

120cm is about 47", so apart from a driver, should be able to get other clubs in. You may need to cut the box down to size, though.

I use Hermes for lower value stuff, and UPS or similar bought through Interparcel for others. I never pay the extra insurance, which I see as an overpriced bet on losing, and over the years and dozens of shipments UK and abroad, only ever lost one cheapish club.

Parcelforce rewards 4U gives 15% off all parcels.
Free to join.
£10.30 for any club .
Can’t really argue with the price just get the buyer to pay.

Hijacking this thread a little, does anyone know of a website/outlet where you can buy cardboard boxes suitable for posting clubs in ?

I just ask my pro at the club .
He has hundreds saves him dumping them.

i have done that frequently, and now feel like I am taking liberties, I have around 20 individual clubs to sell so have bought a batch of new boxes.

If he’s dumping them anyway you are just doing your bit for the environment

If you are really thinking of using Hermes, you could save some time and postage by breaking some of the clubs and chucking the rest in a bush!
