I use to make a web site for a business that shipped a lot. I was able to bring my stuff in and get it shipped cheap! I do miss that!

Traveling doesn't seem to be as hard - you will get dinged for your surfboard now and then, but most of the time you don't if the bag is under weight. I just bought a twin tip for my wife - $77 to ship seems like a lot - I was hoping that someone had some better approaches. I'll check out uship - Thanks! registered Since 12 Jul 2005 1319 Posts tsunami Sandbagger Mon Apr 13, 15 7:39 am     I wanted to buy a SUP from a guy in midwest. It was going to cost 400 to ship the pig. I looked for a week. Never found a better deal so I never bought it . Be careful when quoting big boards. gorgeperformance Since 30 Nov 2010 67 Posts   Wed Apr 15, 15 6:15 am     Fed Ex has fair rates and can ship up to 6' for small surf. 140 twin should run under $50 cross country. $80 a for 6 surfboard.

Do you think the mail will do more damage to your board than you will. Nope!!! Us mail is super cheap to send boards to Hawaii as they only go by air and you can pay the cheap rate. Boards make it in about a week also! _________________ Take a breath; inhale        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
