Door-to-Door Golf Club Shipping with SHERPR

By: Golfshake Editor | Tue 27 Mar 2018


Published in Partnership with Golfbreaks.com


When traveling abroad on a golf break, one of the concerns may be around transporting clubs to your destination. Maybe you and your friends are loading them into the back of the car at 5am ready for a flight to Portugal, you get to the airport, pay additional fees for parking, pull out your clubs with your luggage and haul them through the airport. Not only is this a hassle but when you check in you are slapped with additional fees. So what are the alternatives for sending your golf clubs? 

Club shipping is the answer. And it’s a service offered by SHERPR, who will deliver your clubs door to door at an affordable price and relieve you of your luggage pain. But how does this compare to airlines?

The Hassle:

Imagine walking through the airport without the hassle of carrying your golf bags. SHERPR’s door to door service means that when you arrive at the airport, you can waltz through with only your hand luggage, in the knowledge that your clubs have arrived at the hotel or golf course the day before you are due to arrive.

Airline Fees:

Ryanair charge up to £80 for a return trip to Portugal, with a maximum golf bag allowance of 20kg, and on top of that, you will be charged £10 for any additional kilo added. With SHERPR you are simply charged a flat fee of £80 for a return journey; including door to door delivery and a weight allowance of up to 24kg. SHERPR can also provide you with custom made golf club packaging for a small fee that will further ensure the safety of your clubs.

Insurance:

There are some horror stories out there with one PGA pro losing her clubs and then finding them for sale on a local site. Remember the two golfers travelling to The Open last year?

Indeed, the system will never be perfect, but without insurance you have no claim. In general, airlines don’t offer insurance or liability. SHERPR offers insurance up to the value of £20,000, with £1000 worth of insurance costing just £9.99; covering lost and damaged items.

All items are fully trackable from start to finish through every step of the journey.

Large group discounts:

Airlines do not offer you large group discounts. In fact, if the group is too big then there is a chance that your clubs will leave on the flight after, with or without you. On the other hand SHERPR offers large group discounts of up to 20% depending on the size of the group. Just get in touch with the SHERPR team to discuss group pricing if you have a group size of 6 people or more.

Introductory Offer – 10% off club shipping

As an introductory offer SHERPR, in partnership with Golfbreaks.com, are offering anyone who makes a booking with SHERPR by 30th April 2018 a 10% discount on shipping their clubs. In addition, you will receive up to 5% off your spend back in Breakpoints - if you register as a member of Breakpoints, Golfbreaks.com’s Rewards Programme.

Sounds appealing? Find out more details about SHERPR’s service, grab your 10% discount code and enjoy a relaxing flight next time you golf overseas.
