Best/most cost efficient way to post bats
« on: January 24, 2018, 08:10:38 PM »
Hello CBF,

I’m looking around for the best way to send bats once selling. As the title suggests - please give me your top tips or what you think is the best way to ship bats to one another safely and efficiently.

Cheers!

If you wrap the bat carefully you can have it as a tube which is relatively inexpensive via royal mail.

If going internationally don’t use Landmark/BPost... it goes missing for 3weeks with no updates on tracking and then just turns up at the recipients door around 2weeks late.

Suspiciously a week after a lost parcel case is opened.
