How it works
Because we focus exclusively on shipping golf clubs and luggage, Luggage Forward is able to include some features that aren’t offered, or cost extra, when you use UPS to send your clubs.
Skip the box
With Luggage Forward, shipping your golf clubs without special packaging or a box does not invalidate value protection coverage. Golf clubs can be forwarded in a standard soft sided travel case with built-in padding for the club heads or a hard sided travel case without any additional packaging. We send you a custom-engineered luggage tag that will attach to the handle and is used to identify and track your golf bag during the golf club shipping process.
Ship clubs internationally
Unless you get excited about filling out lengthy Customs forms, shipping golf clubs overseas with UPS may not the solution for you. Whether you’re shipping clubs to Ireland, to Scotland, or elsewhere, we identify, complete, and submit all of the required country-specific Customs documentation on your behalf. This is included in the low, all-inclusive rate that can save you up to 50% versus sending golf clubs abroad with UPS.
