There’s much more to shipping a skateboard than just strapping it to a box and sending it off.
If you want your board to arrive safely at its destination, you should keep a few things in mind.
Here are some tips for shipping your skateboard the right way.
How do you mail a skateboard?
Here are the steps:
You’ll need a box that’s big enough for the skateboard, plus some extra padding material like bubble wrap
One of the most critical steps when shipping a skateboard is finding the perfect box – not too small, but not so huge that your board has enough room to rattle around.
You’ll want ample padding material like bubble wrap because the last thing you want is for your trusty ride to arrive looking like it’s been through a war zone. So don’t skimp on protection; remember, safety first!
Place the skateboard in the center of the box and add padding around it, so it doesn’t move around during shipping
As a rule, always put your skateboard in a protective saloon car-style lockbox when it needs to be shipped.
But to ensure that your skateboard stays completely still during transit, ensure it’s nestled snugly in the center of the box and surrounded by some trusty padding like bubble wrap or packing peanuts.
That way, you can rest assured knowing your beloved board will arrive at its destination in one piece—or, as we like to call it, fully “grounded.”
Seal up the box and address it to your desired destination
The next task in this tedious job of moving would be getting the shipping box sealed up and labeled with the desired destination.
Hopefully, I won’t misinterpret the address and send fragile items to Antarctica!
I might accidentally vandalize some penguins’ igloos.
Nah, that wouldn’t be too funny.
However, I’m hoping this package safely journeys swiftly to its destination.
I recommend you send it with a tracking number so you can track its location until it arrives safely.
Just remember, safety always comes first when shipping your beloved board.
May the winds be calm and kindly carry it on its way!
Please take it to your local post office or shipping company and send it on its way!
If you’ve got a skateboard that needs to get on its way, look no further than your trusted local post office or shipping company!
With their help, you can ensure that your item arrives promptly and soundly at its destination.
Sending something off doesn’t have to feel like sending off a piece of yourself either – these folks know what they’re doing and have seen it all before.
So don’t waste another minute!
Take it to the post office (or shipping company) and kiss that bad boy goodbye!
How much does it cost to ship a skateboard?
The cost to ship a skateboard varies depending on your destination and the size and weight of the board.
If you plan on sending it with a conventional mail carrier like USPS, you may be looking at around $20-$30 for shipping domestically or up to $50 if you send it overseas.
Shipping prices for more expensive items like electric skateboards or high-end longboards will be significantly higher.
It’s always a good idea to shop around and compare shipping rates from different companies before committing to one to get the best deal possible.
However you decide to send your precious cargo, remember that safety is critical!
After all, you don’t want to risk your beloved board arriving damaged.
So ensure you take the necessary precautions and follow the tips above – it’ll be worth it in the end!
That’s all that needs to be done – now you’re set to ship your skateboard safely and securely!
In conclusion
Transporting your skateboard need not be stressful or complicated.
You’ll be all set if you have the correct box and plenty of cushioning to ensure it’s safe throughout its journey!
Following these steps will get your skateboard where it needs to go quickly.
