Checking Clubs vs. Shipping

In 2019 alone, U.S. airlines collected $5.76 billion dollars in baggage fees, up 18% from 2018. As airlines find ways to gradually increase pricing for carry-on and checked bags, your once cheap ticket is nearly double the value initially paid. Perhaps it’s time to consider using a door-to-door luggage shipping service like Ship Sticks, the cheapest and most convenient way to transport your baggage from point A to point B.
Some airlines, such as Delta, aren’t cheap and even restrict the contents inside of your bag, limiting the number of shoes to one pair. Any rain gear, clothing, and windbreakers are prohibited. JetBlue even limits the number of golf balls inside to 3; an unreasonable number for any level of player.

Checking golf clubs vs. shipping with Ship Sticks

Luckily, Ship Sticks offers the cheapest alternative to traveling with your clubs. With two size options to choose from, you’re able to select the cheapest option that best accommodates your needs. The ‘Standard’ size golf bag is comparable to a stand bag that most traveling and weekend golfers utilize, whereas the ‘Oversized’ bag is proportionate to a staff bag, similar to what tour players use.
