Re: How To Ship An Instrument

I've shipped instruments between Australia, New Zealand Europe, the US and South America numerous times, and I've generally found that registered and insured post is the best way to go. Not always the cheapest, but the most certain of getting from A to B and being delivered OK. UPS are good, but don't go everywhere no matter what they say. FedEx have been responsible for the few problems I've had. I never use them now. The instruments must be packed properly, in a strong carton with lots of bubble wrap or scrunched up newspaper. Also, the instruments must not have movement within the case. "Fragile" tape may help, but some shippers see that as a challenge.
