Sports Express eases worries and lightens loads with new equipment delivery service
DURANGO, Colo. (May 29, 2001) – Travelers can shed 30 pounds or more instantly with one phone call or mouse click. It’s not a diet – it’s Sports Express delivery service.
Sports Express has created a worry-free solution for people who want to avoid the hassles of lugging heavy gear to and from the airport and the risk and uncertainty of checking golf clubs, skis, snowboards, bicycles and other sports equipment as baggage.
Sports Express – in association with FedEx, UPS and Eagle Global Logistics – arranges for sports equipment to be picked up from any location (home, office, country club, bike shop, etc.) and delivered directly to any resort or destination worldwide, either one-way or round-trip.
Sports Express guarantees that sports equipment will be at your destination prior to your arrival – so you can focus on fun without worrying about your gear, says Ken Stone, vice president of the Durango-based delivery service.
The website, www.SportsExpress.com, provides online booking, travel cases, price quotes and 24/7 delivery tracking. Sports Express concierges (1-800-357-4174) offer personal service and keep customers informed every step of the way. Deliveries are insured door-to-door and guaranteed to arrive on time.
Sports Express is embracing two major trends: the new travel-light mindset and the tightening limits on airline baggage.
“Travelers have discovered that it’s easier and more enjoyable to fly without a lot of luggage, especially a set of golf clubs or a pair of skis or a bike,” Stone says. “Having your sports equipment delivered also provides peace of mind.”
Another reason to have sports gear delivered: the enforcement of new and existing luggage restrictions and fees.
Airlines limit the number of bags that can be checked for free. Those restrictions will become even tougher, especially given the FAA’s prediction that the number of airline passengers would grow from 733 million today to 1.2 billion in 2012. With more people flying, there will be less space for additional baggage.
Airlines charge up to $75 per bag each way for items exceeding their “free baggage allowance,” generally two checked pieces and a small carry-on per passenger. Golf clubs and skis can be checked, but they count toward the baggage allowance. Bikes are always charged a fee (typically $75 each way) for being “oversize” baggage.
Sports Express delivery rates start at $39 for one-way delivery of a standard 32-pound set of golf clubs and $29 for a one-way delivery of a pair of skis. Several service options can meet any schedule, from express next-day air to select-saver ground service. Group, convention and tournament rates are available.

Mountain travel made easy… Sports Express delivers skis, golf clubs and bikes
DURANGO, Colo. (June 12, 2001) – Imagine traveling to the high country without worrying about your sports equipment. Sit back, relax and enjoy the trip… because your stuff is already there.
A new Colorado company, Sport Express, adds convenience to mountain travel by arranging for skis, snowboards, boots, golf clubs, bikes and even luggage to be picked up from home or office (or anywhere for that matter) and delivered directly to any locale destination, either one-way or round-trip.
Sports Express – in association with FedEx, UPS and Eagle Global Logistics – provides worry-free solutions for travelers nationwide to avoid the hassles of hauling around bulky items and the risk and uncertainty of checking sports gear as airline baggage.
Deliveries can be arranged online or by calling the Sports Express call center toll free.
The website, www.SportsExpress.com, provides online booking, price quotes, 24/7 delivery tracking and travel cases – and the company’s travel concierge desk (1-800-357-4174) offers personal service and keeps travelers informed every step of the way. All deliveries are guaranteed door-to-door, on time and insured.
Sports Express is on the leading edge of two major trends: the travel-light mindset and the increasing restrictions on airline baggage.
“Travelers want to take their own gear, but at the same time they’ve discovered that it’s more enjoyable to fly without a lot of items, especially bulky sports gear,” said Dave Welz, director of sales and marketing for Sports Express, based in Durango, Colo.
“There are a lot of variables involved in a mountain vacation,” Welz said. “When a destination guest knows his or her gear has arrived ahead of time, it eliminates potential problems and provides terrific peace of mind – and that helps every company involved in that guest’s Colorado vacation experience.”
