Properly packing your snowboard and bindings ensures they arrive at your destination safe, sound, and ready to ride. Whether you\u2019re heading to your favorite mountain or exploring new terrain, follow these simple steps to learn how to ship a snowboard with bindings like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Ship a Snowboard in 9 Easy Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Gather the following items to ship your snowboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 cardboard box, soft travel bag, or hard case for your snowboard<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 roll of packing tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bubble wrap, packing paper, or other padding materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pro Tip:<\/em> A hard case offers the most protection, especially for long-distance or international shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. <\/span>Regardless of the outer packaging, always use bubble wrap, packing paper, or other protective materials to safeguard your snowboard during transit. Place these materials snugly in the space between the snowboard and the box or travel bag to prevent shifting and potential damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve chosen to ship in a box, ensure that all flaps and sides are securely taped. If you ship in a snowboard bag or hard case, be sure to close any outer zippers or pockets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipskis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book your shipment<\/a>! Schedule your snowboard shipment online or over the phone with a customer support representative available 7 days a week via phone, text, email, or live chat. ShipSkis even allows you to place your order ahead and ship when you\u2019re ready.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. After booking your order, you&#8217;ll need to print out your provided shipping label. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pro Tip:<\/em> Always print a second copy of your label and place it inside your box or snowboard bag. This ensures your shipment can still be identified if the outer label becomes damaged or detached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. If you elect to ship your snowboard and bindings in a box, attach your shipping label using clear packing tape to your box. Should you opt to ship your snowboard and bindings using a soft travel bag or hard case, attach the barcoded shipping label to a flat, plastic surface using clear packing tape. If a hard surface does not exist, please use a corrugated box or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.shipskis.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360040860731\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">luggage tag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when you ship.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.

And, if you\u2019re shipping internationally, be sure to remove any locks that may be on or in your shipment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.\u00a0It\u2019s time to ship! If you\u2019ve opted for a pickup from your home, have your snowboard and bindings packaged and ready to go from 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. If you\u2019ve selected to drop off instead, visit our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipskis.com\/store_locator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store Locator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> page to find a drop-off location near you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. <\/span>Finally, travel bag-free and arrive at your destination ready to hit the slopes!
