How to ship a pair of skis?

Question

How do i ship a pair of skis. I have two pairs of skis that i need to ship and how do i ship them. Do i wrap them or box them or where do i get the supplies??

Answer 1

Buy a Sportube so that you can reuse it traveling or shipping. This provides greater protection than a box would.

Do not rent. If you must then demo so that you can have the best skis, rather than the beat-up rentals.

Answer 2

go to the ups station

Answer 3

I perefer not to ship or buy skis. I'd rather rent skis because they dont need to be shiped.  you should rent them in a ski shop.  another reson why is because if they get too small, you would have to buy new skis when you can just rent them cheeper.

Answer 4

Go to a nearby ski shop and ask them for a used ski box from one of their recent shipments.  Typically the bindings should be removed and then shipped in a separate box to avoid damage to them or other items in the transport. However, the bindings could be packed well with pieces of cardboard to build the area up to smoother surface.  

   UPS is a common carrier for many companies in the ski business.  Prices do very for size, weight and shape of the package.
