PACKAGING TIPS
How to pack a snowboard for shipping?
When sending snowboards by post or courier, always make sure to use proper packaging. Wrap each item of your snowboarding gear separately and follow these steps to guarantee safe delivery:
- Use the original packaging of your snowboard or any other big box.
- Protect the snowboard with bubble wrap and place it in its travel bag.
- Wrap your snowboarding boots and other gear separately.
- Nest the snowboard and the remaining gear in the box filled with cushioning materials.
OUR ADVICE
What to have in mind when sending snowboard gear by post or courier?
Since winter holidays are always quite busy and snowboarding gear is not exactly a standard item, we leave here some advice to keep in mind when shipping snowboard equipment internationally.
- Measure your snowboard: make sure to provide accurate shipping dimensions for the box in which you will send your snowboard, including the weight. If you don’t have a scale, you can easily find online the approximate weight of your snowboard by searching for its brand and model.
- Consider shipping delays: couriers and postal services are quite busy at this time of year so make sure to add a few more days to the estimated transit time when booking the delivery of your snowboard.
- Get a good snowboard case or travel bag: there is no such thing as too much protection where shipping is concerned.

How to ship a snowboard internationally with bindings?
The safest way to ship a snowboard with bindings is to remove the bindings and wrap them in fleece clothing or bubble wrap before placing them in the cardboard box. Sending the snowboard with the bindings mounted can be a bit risky. However, if you decide to remove them, make sure to place the proper tools in your box as well to screw the bindings back at your destination.
