Moving a club on

[davemc1]

Sorry but this thread is gonna be as dumb as it gets.

whenever I've sold a club, I've always reused the box that the new shiney has come in. I have no new shiney, therefore no box. Is it just as simple as going down the postie to pick one up? Or are there specific places to get them?

Sorry....

I blue petered a box from stuff I had lying around, got good packaging ratings from eBay

If you're a serial club seller then you can buy club boxes on eBay - not particularly cheap but sometimes the golf shops don't have any. Last time I went to AG and DG to scrounge one they'd both just cleared out and had their cardboard waste collected.

Sounds like you have the perfect excuse to buy a new shiney..

I phone them to check first

This.
I always cobble together something spectacular looking from bits and bobs in the house

As long as a club is well packaged it doesnt have to be in a box.

I sent a club sold on ebay last week, I wrapped the shift in several black bin bags then gaffer taped it so it was solid, same around the head cover and it's fine, sent a couple this way and never had any issues. Always make sure it's posted so it's insured for its value so if anything does happen you can make a claim.

TBH I usually give back negative ratings if it comes in a black bin bag and gaffer tape!
Your local pro or american golf should have some spare, if not buy one on ebay for around £5, failing that you can get them from your local storage place.

 

[mashleyR7]

If it arrive safely without any issue then whats the problem, why leave negative feedback, the sale went fine and you received your goods so its positive. If something went wrong of course leave negative feedback, or maybe just talk to the seller directly and raise your nonissue with them.

Because people charge excess for postage and packing and I know the packing has cost them nowt, and it turns up hermes.
IMO just lazy, had issues with it with the seller blaming the couriers and had to escalate it on the bay. Why take the chance just stick it in a box to give it a little protection.

I agree. I'd be quite unhappy if a club i had just bought turned up in a bin bag(s).

American golf normally have boxes at the front door for anyone to take.

I'd certainly expect to see some decent protection around the shaft and head.

I know, but white bin bags - now your talking. It makes the head look bigger, you feel more confident wrapping it and get the adjustable string one, worth paying the extra for.

So far never had a club arrive wrapped in just a bin bag (black, white or any other colour) but I wouldn't best pleased if I'd spent good sum of cash on a club/clubs, and a plastic bag was all the protection, especially when boxes aren't always in the best shape when they arrive!

exactly! myhermes will be about a fiver to send signed and insured and the seller charging around £12 which covers packaging. The wrapping is all about the overall sale.

at the OP, just call a few local clubs to you, they will have one or two lying around cluttering the place up

I haven't been custom fit for my packaging yet.

 

[davemc1]

Can't believe I never got any stick for this! Anyway picked one up at the club and it's now in the post :thup:

thanks for for all the replies

but still, have I spotted a hole in the market?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Taller players normally suit bubble wrap (the lightness keeps the postage down), vertically challenged are better with rags, so they're not embarrassed passing it over to the counter girl.

All important you know.
