We recommend sending the skateboard wrapped up with bubble wrap and inside its case (if it has one).

As it is not so easy filling up the box, read our tip about how to send boxes with Sinmaletas.com to learn how to do it correctly and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Especially if your shipment’s destination or origin is a country subject to customs conditions, as they may have certain restrictions. This way we will try to avoid unnecessary delays in your shipment.
