Whether you’re sending your racket for restringing, shipping it to a tournament, or selling it online, getting a tennis racket safely from Point A to Point B isn’t as simple as it sounds. Between finding the right-size box, protecting the frame, and dealing with ever-changing carrier rules, it can turn into a frustrating chore. Here’s how to do it right—and how Racket Express eliminates the hassle.

Step 1: Protect Your Racket

The goal is to prevent the frame or strings from being crushed or bent. Cover the head with a racket cover or wrap it in bubble wrap, and use paper or soft padding around the handle to stop it from shifting. Avoid oversize boxes—extra space invites damage.

Step 2: Forget the USPS Two-Box Trick

For years, players relied on the old USPS “two-box” method—taping together two free Priority Mail boxes to fit a racket. Unfortunately, USPS no longer allows this. Postal employees are now instructed to reject or re-rate these packages, often leading to delays or surprise costs. Even if accepted, the mismatched boxes offer little structural protection for your racket.

Step 3: Use the Right Box and Label

That’s where Racket Express comes in. We provide custom-fit racket boxes designed specifically for tennis rackets—no DIY taping, trimming, or guesswork. Each shipment includes a discounted UPS Ground label (up to 90% off retail rates), and our boxes meet professional shipping standards for safety and reliability.

Step 4: Ship, Track, and Relax

Simply place your racket in the Racket Express box, attach your prepaid label, and drop it off at any UPS Store—or hand it to your driver. We coordinate delivery with your preferred stringer and handle all the tracking details.
