This is a question more about selling gear, but here goes…
I have a pair of snowboard boots for sale on Craigslist. When I sell stuff there, I typically only deal locally, but for this item, I am getting interest from non-local buyers. I am considering offering to ship them if the buyer covers the cost of shipping/handling, but I want to make sure I know what I am getting into first. Does anyone have experience in shipping snowboard boots to a buyer? Is it expensive? Any tips or advice?
I think USPS is a great way to ship snowboard boots in the US.
I have a pair of Nike boots here in box. The box dimensions are 17″ x 16″ x 6″ and weighs 5.25 pounds. To ship all the way across the country from Oregon to Florida starts at $18.70 for Standard Post, so that is pretty cheap, but delivery time may take a week. If you are looking for something faster, that’s where it gets more expensive. Second Day Priority costs $54 and upward.
Check out the shipping costs calculator from USPS here.
Hey there! Shipping snowboard boots can vary a lot depending on the carrier, the size/weight of the package, and the destination. I
ve had good experiences with USPS for smaller, lighter packages, but for boots, FedEx or UPS might be more reliable, though potentially pricier. Always try to pack them as compactly as possible to save on dimensional weight. Also, be aware of any customs fees if shipping internationally.Shredding the gnar since '98!
