Shipping a Bowling Ball
« on: November 26, 2024, 09:43:47 AM »
I was wondering if anyone has a good way to ship a bowling ball (UPS, USPS, FedEx etc) for a rate that's reasonable.

I have a bunch of bowling balls new and used that I am wanting to sell, but last time I sold them on eBay, shipping costs were absolutely ridiculous. Hard to sell a $10-15 ball when shipping is $45.

Thanks!

Yea, so I'm not sure if the prices are always like that, or if they're just trying to get me, but wow.

Thanks for the tip!

Shipping a bowling ball is going to be expensive. Sign up for A UPS account so you get a small discount but even then it’s going to cost around $15 to ship it locally or up to $45 if it has to travel further.

Houston - $19
Kansas - $11.79
Oklahoma - $11.79
Northern California - $6.79
Golf clubs (iron set) to Michigan - $19

Pirate ship as well.

Shipping bowling balls with it was better then with my fedex account or ups account to the point i stopped checking them.

Shipping heavier stuff in car audio over 50lbs was still way cheaper. However they do it i hope they stay around.
