How to Ship Skis or Snowboards with Ship&Play

It’s easy to get your gear ready to ship.

Ski trips are hard enough before you add a 6-foot bag to the equation. Ship&Play makes it easy—send your skis, board, boots, and all those layers straight to your destination.

What You’ll Need

  • Two copies of your shipping label

    — mailed to you or printed from your account.

    Tip: We’ll mail labels to your chosen address. If you’re booking last-minute or shipping internationally, you may need to print your label from your confirmation email or account.

  • Luggage shipping tag & zip tie

    — included with your mailed label.

    Tip: Luggage shipping tags (or fly tags) and zip ties are available at most carrier stores.

  • Clear packing tape

    — if needed.

  • A soft-travel bag, hard case, or box

Step 1: Prepare Your Gear

  1. 1

    Protect vulnerable parts—like bindings, tips, and tails—with bubble wrap or cardboard for extra cushioning during transit.

  2. 2

    Place one copy of your shipping label inside your shipment.

  3. 3

    Pack your gear inside a soft travel bag or hard travel case—just as you would for airline travel. You can also box your skis, board, or boots instead.

NOTE: Some skiers prefer to secure or remove ski brakes before shipping, for added peace of mind. (If you don’t want to remove yours, rubber bands or cable ties can be used to keep brakes flush against the skis.)

Step 2: Attach the Label

  1. 1

    For domestic shipments booked more than 3 days in advance:

    We’ll send your labels to you by mail, along with some (if not shipping in a box) luggage tags and zip ties.

  2. 2

    For international shipments or domestic shipments booked less than 3 days in advance:

    Labels can be printed from your confirmation email or account, and tags and ties can be picked up at your local carrier store.

  3. 3

    For soft-sided bags & hard cases:

    Attach the label (in its luggage tag) to the handle and secure it with the zip tie.

    Tip: Travel bags may be boxed for additional protection.

  4. 4

    For boxes:

    Securely apply the provided shipping label to the outside of the box.

    Tip: If printing your own label, cover it completely with clear packing tape so it stays protected.

Attaching a shipping label to a bag

Pack with Confidence

  • Do double-check your label.

    Ensure your name, address, and contact info are correct.

  • Do weigh and measure your bags before booking.

    Ensure you’re selecting the most accurate item size.

  • Do use sturdy materials.

    Bubble wrap, packing paper, and quality tape help keep your items safe in transit.

Avoid Common Mistakes

  • Don’t pack prohibited items.

    Review the list below, and leave anything off-limits out of your bags.

  • Don’t leave compartments open.

    Zippers, buckles, or open flaps can get snagged during shipping.

  • Don’t overpack your luggage.

    Bags or boxes larger than your selected size may result in delays or extra fees.

Now, What You Can’t Ship

A few things don’t make the cut:

  • Alcohol
  • Drugs
  • Jewelry
  • Electronics
  • Hazardous materials
  • Pressurized containers
  • Firearms / ammunition
