For those of you who are keen skiers or
snowboarders, you’re probably already planning that blissful trip in search of
the white stuff. But with low-cost airlines trying to keep their ticket fares down,
the cost of taking extra luggage on board seems to be rising sharply.
Here at Transglobal Express we offer luggage shipping services, allowing you to send your skis or
snowboard ahead so they will be ready and waiting for you at your destination
airport.
Before your equipment makes its own flight,
however, it will need to be prepared and packed properly to ensure a safe trip.
The following materials are essential:
- · A roll of strong packing tape
- · Cardboard boxes that make the correct size to cover equipment
- · Padding material
Ideally you should have boxes of a suitable
size to fit the equipment, ones that are not too small to fit padding material inside
to protect the items, and not so big that items move around a lot inside,
causing damage. Whichever courier you pick, you will also need to check their size
limits before you book.
It is recommended that you package your
skis in pairs to increase the level of stability. It is also wise to use
additional padding material such as edge protectors made from polystyrene or
foam, as well as other packing material to ensure the equipment is not loose in
the box.
Once everything is secure, ensure the
parcel is well taped up and that the box will not open easily whilst in
transit. Finally, attach the correct labels to the box where they can be seen
clearly.
