drzrm Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I saw how to package them (thanks) but what's the best way to ship boards? USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL? About how much does it cost to send a board (no bindings) across country (coast-to-coast)? I'm talking about a 182, so the package should be around 73" x 12" x 2". What should I expect shipping to cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sent three boards from MN to Washington State (I think) all packaged together for about $45 (UPS) Boards were 197,184,and 169. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzrm Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I did read that, that's why a said "I saw how to package them (thanks)." My question was whether any one of the domestic carriers was better on these type of boxes than the others. I know USPS recently changed how they handle oversized boxes, and what defined OS 1 and OS 2. I figured as much as you guys are shipping boards around, there may be consensus as to the best carrier. I think we'll go with FedEx, but I wanted to know if there was any informed recent opinion. Read snowboard packaging thread in FAQ section.
