Hiya :wave:
My DH has just been on the walmart website & spotted a golf club he fancies :erm:

Just wondering has anyone got items posted from Florida??? I wonder how much roughly this would cost or would we be better just carrying it home ourselves???

Your biggest problem would be the import costs. Anything over £18 costs a minimum of £8 handling plus 17.5% VAT. I don't think Walmart will ship overseas either :(.

Hope that helps!!

My DH had bought single clubs before from Edwin Watts and WalMart and we have just asked for a box at the shop and packaged it up well, and it went in the hold with the cases as part of the luggage!!!

Really easy!!!!

For info you'll also pay 2.5% duty on golf clubs.

we usually ship a few items back from Florida but noticed last year that shipping costs had really gone up

I brought some golf clubs out there and put them in a golf travel bag. Put them through with our usual luggage on our return.;)
