As regions around the nation experience their first snowfall of the year, the anticipation for the start of ski season is at an all-time high! So as you begin to plan and prepare for your upcoming winter trips, allow us to introduce you to this year’s (and every year’s) must-have: Ship Skis.
We all know that traveling with skis and snowboards to and from your faraway winter destination isn’t the easiest task. Winter gear is heavy, bulky, and often costs a small fortune to check at the airport. What a horrible way to start your vacation!
Ship Skis envisions a far easier and more affordable way to travel and transport your gear. They’re the world’s leading shipping service for skis, snowboards, snow boots, and luggage. So, why are so many skiers and snowboarders choosing a better way to travel with Ship Skis? Here are a few reasons:
1. Avoid all the airport chaos
Why shell out hundreds of dollars in airline baggage fees just to do all the heavy lifting yourself? Do your back and your wallet a huge favor by opting to ship your skis, snowboard, and luggage ahead instead. You’ll not only save big on baggage fees, but you’ll also be able to bypass bag-check lines, breeze past baggage claim, and enjoy a stress-free journey to your destination.
2. Convenience
When we say you won’t be doing the heavy lifting anymore, we mean it. Ship Skis will actually come to your home, office, hotel, or lodge pick up your bags. All you have to do is pack!
3. Fully insured
At Ship Skis, your winter gear isn’t just another bag. They understand the value of your skis, snowboard, and luggage which is why they include complimentary insurance on every bag with the option to insure for more. On-time delivery is guaranteed, too.
4. International shipping
If you’re a skier or snowboarder looking to check off all those bucket list destinations, you came to the right place. Ship Skis ships to and from 180 countries and territories and will handle all customs paperwork on your behalf, too.
5. Savings and affordability
Ship Skis' convenience and reliability remain unmatched. Even better? Their prices do too, with rates up to 60% cheaper than the other guys! See for yourself by generating a free quote for your upcoming trip.
