How To Ship A Canoe Paddle Case?

This guide provides tips on how to properly package and ship a canoe or kayak across the country. The first decision is whether to ship the canoe, which can be done using various methods such as roof racks, truck loads, vans, or hiring a moving company like uShip. Sealing the box securely with heavy-duty packaging tape ensures all seams are well-covered, and clearly label the package with Fragile and Side Up instructions to alert handlers of its delicate nature.

There are several ways to transport a canoe or kayak across the country, including using specialized canoe trailers, canoe carts, and vehicle roof racks. If you have a local store that sells canoes and kayaks, you can buy or reuse their boxes. If you make your own, make sure to have the paddles in the case when checking the luggage.

To protect your canoe paddles, consider using an old pair of jeans or thrift store jeans, cut off the legs at the top, hem the edges, and sew up the bottoms. Cooke Custom Sewing offers a Palm Paddle bag that can store up to 4 paddles at the same time, available in three sizes. Protect your paddles with a Canoe Paddle Case from Cooke Custom Sewing, Wenonah, or Frost River, which is ideal for storage or protection during transport.

Lastly, consider purchasing a Heavyweight Polar fleece Paddle Bag, which is sewn from heavyweight polar fleece for maximum protection of your investment. Shipping costs are 100 € per delivery, and returns of paddle machines are paid by the customer. However, Cooke Custom Sewing currently does not ship to countries outside the EU.
