- Skis
- Bicycles
- Kayaks
- Surfboards
- Exercise equipment such as gym machines, treadmills, and weight machines
How Does Our Sports Equipment Shipping Work?
Transporting sports equipment can be challenging due to its irregular forms, high weight, and delicate components. This is why Shipixy pays extra attention to packing, protecting, and transporting your equipment safely.
Whether you are shipping a surfboard interstate or a complete set of golf clubs overseas, in any case, our process makes it an easy and cost-effective experience to ship them.
- Wipe off dirt and moisture so your items stay safe during shipping.
- Take apart bikes or fitness gear, keep screws/pedals in labeled bags, and tape them to the main item.
- Wrap items with bubble wrap or foam. Pack fragile things like skis or rackets separately.
- Pick good-quality boxes or crates. Use wooden crates for very large items.
- Write sender/receiver info and mark as Fragile or Handle with Care.
- Shipixy works with UPS, FedEx, and USPS to find the best option for your package.
- Follow your package in real time with Shipixy’s tracking until it arrives.

The duration of delivery is determined by the carrier, mode of shipping, and destination. Domestic ground delivery typically requires a couple of business days, whereas air or expedited delivery takes significantly less time.
In the case of international transportation, the paperwork and interaction with the customs officer may slow down the process, but you can follow the delivery process using our tracking tool.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Sports Equipment?
Transportation of sports equipment depends on size, weight, distance, and the type of service. Large products such as kayaks or gym machines are more expensive than lighter equipment such as golf clubs or skis.
