PIRATE SHIP

Cost to ship a driver? Cost to ship shorter clubs? Where do you drop off? Hope my spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct.

Was just wondering about what it averages for some one that ships every day.

It depends on how far and how big. There's no average. Geez......

Just curious, what that information is going to do for you? I mean, let's just say that someone comes back and says something crazy like it costs them only $3 to ship a driver across country, because they ship so much.

You don't ship that much so your price will ALWAYS be YOUR price.

Get a FEDEX Ground account and hope that you ship more, or even, enough to keep the account active.

jsippy73 Just did a test shipment, $18 added charge for over 30". That kills my idea of shipping clubs for a low cost.

That makes zero sense. I have shipped MANY 47" boxes with no added charge. I just shipped a box with two drivers from VA to AZ for $13.

PirateShip is the cheapest for me no matter the carrier chosen.

Spells out 18 dollar surcharge for over 30 inches.

Par4QC

jsippy73 That must be USPS. Try UPS.

Is that UPS? That sounds like USPS.

jsippy73

Hammer sent me a driver paid over 25 which came up when I made an account, but it was USPS. Big difference.

jsippy73

USPS sucks!! UPS GROUND is the best for me. I don't ship every day, BTW. Almost, but not EVERY day. 😉

Par4QC

sdandrea1 I don't ship every day,

I miss not shipping every day. Used to have to have large boxes that would hold the smaller boxes, and would need 2 of them daily to carry all in to ship.

I hate being old and irrelevant. 😩And poor.

jsippy73

On another subject am I supposed to list mint clubs for sale at what is trade in value?

I feel your pain. I have a set of irons only used 4-5 rounds, still look new. "Trade-in" price is pure shit. And I'm not about to lose my ass on them, only partial would be OK, but the prices I see is losing both nuts, along with my whole ass.

Keeping them for now.

I usually find out what trade-in value is and then add a reasonable "profit" to cover my shipping costs and maybe pocket a few bucks, but my goal is just get it gone. If a set of irons trades in for $130, I'd probably ask $175 - $199 and take $150 to cover shipping. You should do what YOU think you should do. There's no "supposed" to do. Good luck with sale. Worst case you trade them in or sell them to PIAS. There's no money in selling used clubs. Mint condition just makes them prettier, not worth more. I just sold a set of MINT ACER heads for $25 that cost $17 to ship. Just doing a Golfbuzzer a solid and moving the parts along.

I lost a job I used to do where I made around $70 per hour, do to the cost of aluminum. Could get the pieces from China for way less than the cost of aluminum here. Post office was pissed when I shipped to Texas for $14.95 in a large flat rate box. Always told me it would cost me like $80 shipping otherwise. So what, I don't set shipping prices. The boxes weighed like 75 lbs if I remember.

GM@bristoloaks.com hahaha, Me too. With every shot I take.

jsippy73

Last year I sent a mug ($50) to a person In Australia for the low shipping cost of $78.

SMT

jsippy73

Well, yeah. It's far away and they keep losing trucks when they get to the coast

Par4QC

jsippy73 Even before Jan., aluminum prices had gone out of hand. I checked on making more shaft pullers and found the cost had tripled! Then I checked steel pricing ....same thing. So, no more shaft pullers.

AMEN.

New tariffs on steel now as well. Forget it.

Par4QC

sdandrea1 I know.
I did a lot of scrapping in the remodeling of the hotels. The scrapyards would not take washer/dryer drums that were stainless unless I could prove they were American made(which I did). So many impurities in the foreign materials that it was dangerous even after recycling.
'nuff said about how bad some tariffs might be. Or aren't. 😉

About to get very expensive for your industries that use steel and aluminum. Thanks to him.

jsippy73

Explain this, my irons are bordering mint.

jsippy73 That's an 'asking price'.
There are 2 different prices for any item on Earth...

Asking
Selling
Nothing in between.

To find selling prices on ebay you would have to look here. And if you find no comps, it tells a couple things....

They were priced too high.
No one wants them, even if priced lower.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ping+g+iron+sets&_sacat=0&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

I would advertise locally. More apt to get a sale at a decent price. And no shipping problems/costs.

jsippy73

You can't go by asking price and I can't explain why anyone asks ridiculous prices for their clubs. Listen man, just advertise your stuff for whatever. I can't help you. I'm out.
