Carrier & shipping questions answered
Which carrier is best for bowling balls?
It depends on weight and destination. Our comparison tool factors in these variables automatically — UPS Ground tends to win on price for most routes.
Do I need a carrier account?
No. BBS ships on our commercial accounts, so you get discounted rates without needing a UPS, FedEx, or USPS business account of your own.
Can I schedule a carrier pickup?
Yes. After purchasing a label, you can request a free carrier pickup or find the nearest drop-off location — all from the BBS dashboard.
What if my ball is lost or damaged?
If you purchased shipping insurance, file a claim through the BBS platform within 10 days. Our team handles the process with the carrier on your behalf.
