Shipping guide
A single BagCaddie guide for planning what to ship, how to pack it, and how the door-to-door process works before your next golf trip.
Start a Shipping QuoteHow it works
BagCaddie keeps the shipping experience simple for golfers, clubs, hotels, and event hosts. Start with trip details, prepare the bag or luggage, choose the handoff that fits the trip, then travel while BagCaddie helps keep the shipment visible through delivery.
Pickup and delivery
Shipments can be planned around how the golfer actually travels. BagCaddie can support home pickup, office pickup, club handoff, hotel receiving, resort delivery, carrier drop-off, and return shipments after the trip.
Packing
Good packing keeps the journey smooth. Use a protective golf travel bag, hard case, or approved box, then attach labels where they are easy to see and protected from wear during transit.

Club travel
Many BagCaddie shipments move through private clubs, resorts, hotels, and hosted golf events. Participating clubs can make the process easier by helping members coordinate shipping details before travel.
Visibility
BagCaddie keeps travelers, club staff, and destination teams aligned with shipment status, pickup and delivery milestones, and proactive communication when timing matters.
Return travel
Round-trip shipping helps golfers avoid managing oversized bags on both sides of the trip. BagCaddie can help plan the return before departure or after the final round.
BagCaddie is designed for golf travel and related luggage. Use this as a practical planning guide; final carrier rules, weight limits, packaging requirements, route availability, and restricted items are confirmed during quote and checkout.
Ship clubs in a hard case, soft travel bag, or approved golf club box. Remove loose accessories, protect club heads and shafts, attach the shipping label clearly, and place a backup label inside the bag when possible.
Send checked luggage, duffel bags, and travel bags ahead so airport arrival is lighter and faster. Luggage should close securely, be durable enough for carrier handling, and avoid fragile or restricted contents.
Coordinate club trips, corporate outings, member-guest events, tournaments, and hosted travel shipments with preconfigured pickup, delivery, and return details for multiple travelers.
Plan the return trip before departure or after the final round so bags can move home from a club, resort, hotel, residence, office, or eligible carrier location.
Do not use a golf bag, luggage shipment, travel case, or box for valuables, prohibited goods, or anything restricted by the selected carrier. When in doubt, keep the item with you or ask BagCaddie before booking.
Keep passports, wallets, jewelry, cash, irreplaceable items, personal documents, medication, and expensive electronics with you.
Do not pack hazardous materials, aerosols, fuels, pressurized containers, fireworks, flammable products, or other regulated materials.
Avoid food, alcohol, perishable items, liquids that can leak, and products that may be restricted by route, carrier, destination, or customs rules.
Do not pack firearms, ammunition, weapons, controlled substances, or other regulated goods in BagCaddie shipments.
International travel, remote destinations, unusual items, cruise or resort receiving, and last-minute bookings may require additional coordination. BagCaddie can help confirm what is supportable before the trip is booked.
International shipments may require additional documentation, customs details, route review, and different timing. Confirm requirements before packing or locking luggage for an international trip.
