I was on a mission with a friend to pick up a board shipment from Honolulu at the Kahului Airport. Over the years, I have had some horror stories regarding shipping of surfboards.

Share your stories & info on this thread. The board is in bubble wrap tubing then fortified with large & small bubble wrap around the entire board before being put into a 5 mm board bag and finally into the box. They are checking it for damages Marantha, but I always pack the living hell out of everything I send. BTW, the two board order to NYC for Shilo = $337.05 in a 94"x26"x10" box weighing 46.60 lbs.įinally, the box for Jared arrived & his wife sent him a photo of some idiots footprints from walking on the box. board I sent to MIA several weeks ago was $232. To their credit, they came back with an apology & corrected the quote to $187.19, which surprised me as the previous 8 ft.
has oversized waived for the last 3 years & the shipments can't be over 80 lbs. Daylight Transport had quoted me $427 for it in an 8 ft. I have another board (single 7'6" for Jared) that arrived today in MIA Marantha. The best bang for the buck is (perhaps) Kelly Delivery who will p/u your board/stuff in Managua & haul it to San Juan del Sur for $1/lb. let's say you are staying in Playa Colorado, SJ del S, Hacienda Iguana's, or somewhere else. Once it gets to Managua, you then have the option of them already quoting & charging you for the board to clear Customs, or you can deal with it yourself.Īfter that. I spoke to them & they use a modified formula to determine their charge that isn't exactly dimensional weight but somewhere along those lines then multiple by $2.50/lb. my sending them to Miami to "Marantha Cargo" who sends all types of stuff on a regular basis. in NYC sent via Daylight after deciding it's better he brave the plane w/them vs.
She came back quick w/she was in the same boat as me trying to get a board to Managua or a smaller airport closer to San Juan del Sur.Ģ board order for Shiloh B. I had sent a request for a quote from Mapquest after reaching out to Dolly,
#CRAZY SHIPPING STORIES HOW TO#
I'll start, this is how to get a sled to Nicaragua. Things like Amtrak Express Shipping is still suspended, where else to go? Greyhound, UPS, Fed Ex, Daylight Transport. I thought this might be a good thread so there is a reference spot to go to.
