INFORMATION UPDATES: BOX UPDATE: Home Depot changed their dimensions for large boxes, so while Lowe’s has the same size box, it’s oriented wrong, and will be even more of a hassle. Grab your DIY boxes from Uhaul (https://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/...) they are the same size/orientation as the box in video. Desired box dimensions 18Lx18Wx24H. Note Amazon boxes have become even more practically priced, making this path an even more attractive option

Description:
Shipping is expensive, especially large heavy packages such as cornhole boards.

In this video I outline setting up an account with FedEx to greatly reduce shipping rates (then further reduced using Ship Nerd), and then packaging your boards to protect them and keep rates as low as possible with efficient boxing.

Making your own boxes can get time consuming, so I also show how paying a little more for a perfect box can save more time than it costs money.

I want to stress that if you ship more than one or two sets, that you please stop using the Home Depot box method. It is extremely time consuming, and requires almost an entire roll of tape. The box option from amazon is significantly faster (40 minutes + saved) for about $6 more per box.

Custom boxes are the way to go if you ship more frequently, and you’d be surprised to see what’s available to you locally. Unfortunately for me, my custom box options near by have high minimums, however I’ve seen other builders in more rural areas have boxes made at as little as $5/box, and not have to get a ton at a time.

These ideas, primarily shipping with an account, is a principle for shipping in general, never ship without an account. Good luck!
