| All shipments must be in cardboard boxes. Do not use packing peanuts for shipping protection. All bowling balls need to be placed in a two-box system to protect them from damage during shipment. This means each ball must be placed in a single-ball box and then placed in the larger outer box/four-ball case. |
| Please do not ship bowling balls in bowling ball bags. Any bags shipped with bowling balls inside will not be eligible for claims and will be charged an additional handling fee of $50.00. Two ball tote bags are exempt from this rule. |
| For shipping bags, get a box that best matches the size of your ball bag. Visit your local pro shop for empty boxes. |
| All prepaid UPS labels must be obtained from this Web site. Complete step-by-step instructions can be found by clicking on the "Ship Now" link at the bottom of this page. |
| To utilize UPS Ground Service, print your UPS label 8-12 business days before your scheduled team squad. If you ship 1-6 business days before your team squad, you must upgrade to 3rd Day, 2nd Day, or Next day in order for your shipment to make your team squad. Do not print your UPS Label more than 12 business days before your team event. |
| UPS shipping fees are based on your zip code, weight, size of box and “Planned Delivery Date.” |
