How to Pack Your Golf Clubs for Posting
Getting the packaging right protects your clubs, your sale, and your reputation as a seller. The single best thing you can do? Order your box when you list — not after you get a sale.
📦 Pro tip: buy your box now. Once your item sells you have 5 business days to dispatch. If you scramble for a box then, you'll either delay or end up with the wrong size. Golf club boxes on Amazon cost around £2.70 each when you buy a pack of 10. Buying a single box? Around £15, but worth having ready before your sale lands.
1. What box do I need?
The biggest mistake sellers make is using a box that's too short or too flimsy. Golf clubs are long and the heads are fragile. Use the guide below to find the right size — then order it today.
💡 A single box costs around £15. Buy a 10-pack for £2.70 each → — worth it if you're listing more than one club.
2. Where to get a box
Amazon is your best bet. Search for long postal boxes or golf club boxes — they're cheap, arrive fast, and come in the right sizes. Use the links in the table above.
Other options:
- Local packaging or DIY store — Staples, The Range, B&Q, or similar often stock long boxes.
- Your local golf shop — worth asking if they have spare club boxes from deliveries. Often free.
- Evri ParcelShops — a small number stock boxes. Worth a quick check if you're heading there, but don't rely on it for golf clubs. Find your nearest ParcelShop →
No printer? No problem. Evri supports QR code drop-off at many locations — your shipping label is sent by email and you just show the code at the ParcelShop. Nothing to print.
3. How to pack it properly
- Wrap the club head first. Use bubble wrap, a thick towel, or an old t-shirt. The head is the most fragile part and the most likely to punch through the box.
- Cover the grip too. A light wrap or even a plastic bag stops the grip getting scuffed or damp.
- Fill any gaps. Screwed-up newspaper, bubble wrap, or old clothing — the club should not be able to slide or shift inside the box at all.
- Use a box that fits. Oversized boxes with too much empty space are almost as bad as undersized ones. The club should be snug.
- Tape well. Reinforce all seams with packing tape. Don't rely on a single strip across the top.
- Label on top, not the side. Stick your Gofted shipping label flat on the largest face of the box so it stays readable and scannable throughout the journey.
4. Why this matters
Poorly packed clubs are your responsibility as the seller. If a club arrives damaged due to inadequate packaging, the buyer has grounds to raise a dispute and you may have to refund. Spend 10 minutes on packaging — it protects your payout.
Pack it like you'd want to receive it. If you're selling a £200 driver, it deserves £5 of bubble wrap and a proper box.
