I need to send a couple of Tennis rackets to USA.
Looking for suggestions on the best way to do this, in case anyone has done something similar recently?
Thanks in advance.

    Size and weight are important.  Under 2kg = cheaper but you need to package them well enough to be thrown and for heavy
    items to be stacked on top of them.

    Are you going to insure them also?  Under 2kg maybe less than £20, even a fraction over could be £40+

    Thanks all, I found that the simplest way was to take it along with me on the flight. I packed it into my checked in luggage (as it is not allowed in hand luggage) and it reached safely.
