Best Shipment for Bowling Balls to USBC Tornament
« on: February 23, 2009, 02:37:03 AM »
The ball express calculates $261.99 for next day delivery for 4 balls. I thought it will be cheaper if mailed 8 to 10 days before competition. Any thoughts or advice?

Got the 4 balls shipped, FEDEX $56.97, to my hotel. When I get there I will do some practice games. I will be leaving the bowling balls inside the trunk of the car. From there I will take them to the Cashman Center to bowl my games and what ever other tournament in Vegas. Then shipped them out directly to my home.

With your guidance I made the right decision to ship it by FedEx not to use the Ball Express. The cost is $56.97 for a 4 day ground shipment box of 4 bowling balls to my hotel in Las Vegas from Nashville, TN. The hotel will hold the box for me. This is my first trip to a USBC tournament. Will try to have lot's of fun.

Thanks.

Ship them straight to the hotel, they have pickups as well, so ask them to ship them back for you.
When you go to the UPS store ask for a return ticket as well
give yourself a good 5-7 days (depending where your shipping from)
Your right back to carrying 4 balls from your hotel to the lanes and back. Don't know about you, but I can't see carrying 4 balls and shoes and towel back and forth from hotel to lanes and back?

Just my old opinion.

Again, it depends if you bowl any side tournaments or practice sessions. It doesn't make any sense to use BBE to the center and then take the balls out to the car for bowling elsewhere.  BBE is great if all you bowl is the Nationals.

DO NOT! I Repeat DO NOT! leave your bowling balls in the trunk of the car for any length of time! This town has cracked more balls than anywhere, execpt maybe Phoenix. this applies in any month between May and October.
