    FedEx, hands down the cheapest and very quick. Believe me, I've shipped many clubs.

    Ron, I have shipped with Canada Post a lot and so far,no surprises.I think they are the cheapest and if you require the clubs to be insured to the max. you will have to pay a few bucks more.Other than that,you decide how fast you want it there and what you want to pay.I'm sure other members have had different experiences with Can. Post but like I said,so far, so good.

    Fedex ground is by far the cheapest and usually quickest way to get a club somewhere in the province. They also have the best tracking. $100 insurance is included, you can pay for more. Last time I used them, it cost me a little over $8 to get a putter to Toronto and it arrived next day.

    FedEx Ground. Ditto what Spackler said.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Not sure but get a box from one of the guys from here.
    Fedex is definitely cheaper than CDN post . Only thing though you got to go to the Airport (Thad Johhnson) unless they have another depot I am unaware of.

    What are you shipping? Irons or woods?

    Just so you know. You will need a bigger box. In the past whenever I could not find a box I made my own box with cardboard picked up on recyclyng day
    But surely someone has got one for you.Just ask.

    For anyone that lives westendish (Kanata, Stittsville, Bells Corners...) there is a FedEx depot in the strip mall next to Hazeldean mall along Hazeldean Rd in Kanata. I believe a Jiffy Photo is the store front, but they offer FedEx services in there.

    I have always found Canada Post to be the cheapest - especially when using the PayPal shipping interface to print a prepaid shipping label rather than going to your local post office for the over-the-counter rate. You also have the advantage of multiple drop-off locations. I've never had any shipping problems (yet) with Canada Post, but tracking your package is much better with UPS and FedEx.
