Got a few clubs to sell but never actually posted a club before how do you guys do it? Who is cheapest etc.
Would it need to be in a box or could I just wrap it?

go down your local pro shop or AG (ring ahead) get them to give you a box for sending clubs
drivers are a pain to send their so long! but the rest are fine
I use my hermes but others swear off them.. i havent had a problem in over 50 parcels sent
the last club I sent I put paper over the head to cover the whole thing then wrapped in tape just so it was fine in transit then put in the box

Another fan of my hermes - lots of negatives about (but in truth you can find the same about any carrier if you look) - no issue for me in over 70 clubs sent with them.
No - offence, but I would try and get boxes as stated above. I would not be to impressed to get a club taped up, regardless of how much packaging supported it. In over 100 clubs I have bought second hand I got one (only one) wrapped up like a dummy. All the rest in boxes.

Alright, I am in American golf on Saturday I think so will get me some boxes hopefully.
Have used Hermes before, they did break one thing supposedly however I think the buyer already had a broken one, but Hermes paid out quickly anyway.

Another vote for Hermes. Cheap & fast, I've used them loads. Last Xmas they lost a set of irons I sold on EBay. The claim was settled promptly & my P & P was refunded so I ended up better off.
If they try to charge yo an excess because they allege the parcel was too big / heavy & you know it wasn't, just pay the charge & raise a dispute with PayPal after it's delivered. They won't dispute it & you'll receive a refund.

I have used Hermes for years, again 50+ clubs. Never had a problem, if anything, I get comments back about how quick the delivery is! As mentioned, nab a box from AG who just put spare boxes in bin. Much cheaper as well, £3.95 for one club

Just remember to keep parcels below 120cm length for Hermes so you often have to cut the club boxes down a bit, it's OK if your posting putters, wedges or irons but drivers and woods are usually a bit too long for Hermes unless the head is removable from the shaft. Packaging is key as said above, if clubs are valuable take time to wrap them well and it can save you a lot of hassle in the long run. Booking Parcelforce online is a decent price too especially if you want proper insurance for expensive clubs, use code MEM for 15% discount and you can drop off to your local post office or Parcelforce depot to get the price down even more.

I might look into parcelforce for the woods, depending how long they are, but they all do have removable heads, the Post office is approx 100m from my house, so dropping off isn't a problem.

I know they have a max length but I have often sent drivers exceeding their length (driver comfortable in the box with packaging protection top and bottom) and never had a problem. Maybe I got lucky, but I suspect as I ship multiple items together with them, they don't argue about the odd one (I also choose 1-2 Kilos when the parcel is probably 980/990 grams - hoping the extra couple quid I'm giving them makes up for the few cm's longer than should). It's interesting I have never been pulled with a dozen or so parcels over length over the years

I send all my clubs with myhermes but got pulled for the first time the other day for a 120.5cm box! Got charged an extra £10.80 so I emailed their CEO and got a reply back today apologising and giving me a refund. Will have to be more careful in future..

Hermes it is then, hope they take good care, and don't measure my parcels!
Recently posted a 48 inch driver with parcel force

Signed on behalf of the CEO, you do not actually believe the boss of a big company is going to write to each person that complains, do you?

He hasn't actually said the CEO emailed him back..... why even bother writing a response? You know what he means

Used Hermes loads, no issues and trackable, no under 1kg option now it's under 2kg so covers a single club no problem. I've sent drivers as well just unscrew the head and it's under 120cm
