Since 2012, Ship Sticks has remained committed to helping traveling golfers find the cheapest way to <\/span>ship<\/span><\/a> their golf clubs. Whether you\u2019re a snowbird headed to a second home, looking to check off another course, or venturing out for business, shipping your golf clubs ahead of time is the cheapest way to the first tee. <\/span><\/p>\n

Checking Clubs vs. Shipping <\/b><\/h3>\n

In 2019 alone, U.S. airlines collected $5.76 billion dollars in <\/span>baggage fees<\/span><\/a>, 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\u2019s 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.<\/span>
\nSome airlines, such as <\/span>Delta<\/span><\/a>, aren\u2019t 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. <\/span>JetBlue<\/span><\/a> even limits the number of golf balls inside to 3; an unreasonable number for any level of player.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/p>\n

Luckily, Ship Sticks offers the cheapest alternative to traveling with your clubs. With two size options to choose from, you\u2019re able to select the cheapest option that best accommodates your needs. The \u2018Standard\u2019 size golf bag is comparable to a stand bag that most traveling and weekend golfers utilize, whereas the \u2018Oversized\u2019 bag is proportionate to a staff bag, similar to what tour players use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
