Stupid question?
« on: May 13, 2004, 08:22:18 AM »
Here is my stupid question, I have never sold a ball before, but what do you use to ship a bowling ball?  How do you package it, what are fair prices on single drilled equipment?  Any answers are appreciated, as I'm looking to sell a couple of balls.

If you go to your local lanes, they'll give you all the boxes you need.

Umungus,  Most shops will have the typical inner ball boxes that the ball companies use to house their balls.  The single ball outer boxes might prove more difficult though.  I typically just save my outer boxes from balls that I have bought online.

I've never had a problem getting shipping boxes from bowling alleys. I was informed that they just throw them away if no one wants them.

I prefer UPS, have had too many problems with Fed Ex,  NEVER NEVER use the USPS, very costly and it takes forever!!!!

Double boxed, put ball in plastic bag with in the inner box.

 I have tried to get shipping boxes from some of the places around here, but not many ever get just a one ball box {for shipping} the inner boxes are easy to get, most of theirs are for two balls and a case {4 balls}.

 A place to get the outer shipping boxes is  www.uline.com  the size you need is 9x9x9, charlest posted this web addy  some time ago for the boxes.
