Some airlines allow passengers to transport sports equipment up to a certain size on the plane as part of their checked baggage allowance, while others will charge extra for transporting it as excess baggage. You should check the policies of your selected airline before booking your flight. Read more about airline baggage policies and check our solutions for shipping excess baggage.
This will very much depend on the size and weight of the items, the shipping route and the type of service selected. If you are able to disassemble your item and pack it in a cardboard box, you will get the cheapest rates with our Standard Service, which is available for shipments travelling within the EU. You can get an instant quote for shipping various types of sports gear internationally, such as tennis rackets or balls, bicycles, skis or specialised clothing, in the booking tool above.
Eurosender can help you ship sports equipment to almost any destination in Europe with our man and van services. Your sports equipment will be transported straight to your new home in a vehicle reserved for your load, with no stopovers.
You can transport bulky sports equipment with our Van Delivery or Pallet Delivery options, depending on the size and volume of your items. For example, you may be able to ship a windsurfing board or kayak on a pallet, but van transport may be the best way to ship other sports equipment, such as hurdles, a pommel horse, or large gym equipment.
If you opt for an air freight service, deflating your soccer ball before shipping is highly recommended, as pressure change may cause it to burst. For other transport services over land, it is up to you whether you want to deflate the soccer ball before shipping or not. However, bear in mind that deflating your soccer or volleyball means that it will occupy less space, and you will be able to pack it in a smaller box, reducing the shipping cost.
Yes, shipments booked with Eurosender already have basic insurance included in the price. You can also purchase additional shipping insurance during the booking process at very affordable rates.
