Baller Wolfeie Posted October 22, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 22, 2014 Call the hotel and ask them. Probably cost about the same to ship ski or pay airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 23, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted October 23, 2014 Airlines want way more to ship. Almost double. Way less using US Postal service and snail mail it. For a few dollars more you can even insure and track it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted October 23, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted October 23, 2014 NO EXTRA CHARGE ON SOUTHWEST. OOPS. CAP LOCK. NOT YELLING, Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LZywicki1 Posted October 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've always shipped mine to FedEx store close to where I was staying and shipped back home from the same store. Larry -----<| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted October 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 23, 2014 Skis go free on JetBlue and at standard baggage rates on Delta as long as the bag is under 50 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted October 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 23, 2014 If you have a shipping store located at an airport you can almost bet it will go airmail even if you pay for ground transport. Coordinate and ship to the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Moskier3ev Posted October 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am now trying to fly Southwest with skis. 3 event bag and sport tube to Orlando for O35 worlds both under 50lbs no extra charge. Tipped curbside agent $40 bucks. I have never been charged extra (normal bag fees) for a slalom ski by any airline as long as it is under 50lbs. Delta has been good also with 3evt bags.

Baller wtrskior Posted October 23, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted October 23, 2014 thanks guys. I generally take my skis on the plane in my sportube, but decided to buy a ski online from the US (I'm in Canada) so instead of shipping it home, why not ship it to Otown? I called the hotel I'm staying at and they immediately got back to me that they charge $5 to receive any size package (within reason), but don't want it there more than 3 days before arrival. Works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
