Shipping clubs overseas

Hi all, a friend of mine wants to buy a club from me. He's based overseas and asked me to ship to him(he will pay). Anyone with experience shipping clubs(in this case its a hybrid including shaft) and which shipping company I should go to? 

Oh and where can I get a box long enough to fit the club??? 

Thanks for any input. Cheers!

Contact Fedex, DHL or Singpost ...

what you selling, maybe easier to sell to someone here.

EMS from  Singpost is usually decent.

Thanks for all the input. Now to find that box big enough to fit the club...

Try to go to panwest or some golf shops. They usually throw away some boxes outside their premises. Those at golf course are more friendly I think.

I have 1 box to spare, driver length. Pm me if keen.

why not try using PVC pipes?
easily available from hardware shops
and can get them to cut the the length of your clubs

no problem with local singpost.

Use what to cover the ends??

Practically, T/S can get those unwanted club boxes from Pro shop ... I always come across Pan West @ OCC dump unwanted driver boxes outside the shop.

pipe caps, free when u buy the pipe
pipe cost around $20, hybrid length

practical or not, depends on individual

if i sending something to my friend, i would like him/her to receive it in good order
a little effort is nothing

when using courier, it goes through many hands.
so its an expensive piece, i rather err on the side of caution~

Go ask from golf shops

Thanks all, i will go visit some shops this weekend. Appreciate all the input.
