I bought a neck from Dan, It was the best packed item I have bought from basschat!!! I've not fitted the neck yet but it looks fine. I'd buy or sell with Dan again with no worries. Top Guy all round. Thanks, Anth.

[sup][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=5]Sold Tony my Squier P Bass. He paid straight away & is a cool guy to deal with. No problems here. Cheers, Anth. [/size][/font][/sup]

I sold my Roscoe Beck 5 String to Antonello, He paid for it straight away & we exchanged many emails regarding the shipping of the bass to Sardinia. I would deal with Antonello again with no worries. A great Basschatter all round... Thanks, Anth.

[b][i][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I Had paid for some 70s style fender tuners but Steven had a fall & damaged them. I got a refund within 24 hours so no problems here. Thanks, Anth.[/font][/i][/b]

I Sold Paul a Precision neck, he made a fast payment & friendly emails. I would deal with him again without a doubt. Thanks, Anth.

For my RB 5 string I ended up using parcel2go & the service was UPS. Its cost £89 including £1000 for loss & £100 for damage. It got picked up 23/10/13 so I'm hoping it gets to the buyer in good time. I'll update with more info once it lands in Sardinia.

I bought a neck from Simon for project. I've not fitted it yet but it looks great. It arrived well packed & it good time. I would deal with Simon again with no worries. Thanks, Anth.

SOLD & at a best offer!

[url="http://www.parcel2go.com"]www.parcel2go.com[/url] seem to use UPS as one of their carriers so I'll look into them as I only hear good things about UPS.

I did ask the guy to arrange his own courier but he said that it would be really difficult to do so. I will double check with some more couriers as I would hate for the bass to get lost or damaged. It's a bit of a tricky one as I went through all the options I could find & parcelforce seemed ok. I'll have a search around & let you know how I get on.

I use parcelforce & have never had any problems, i have sent basses in a hardcase but if that's not possible then I've removed the neck from the body where possible. If its a fixed neck then a hardcase is a must IMO You could try www.interparcel.com

I've been in touch with the guy buying my RB 5 & he's happy with the cheaper courier. I would rather not be sending it overseas but if thats what's got to happen then so be it. We have exchanged about 20 emails or so & I have raised my concerns but if the buyer is happy then it's ok to go ahead. If parcelforce kept losing parcels would there not be some sort of inquest & if it's tracked then someone must be accountable for it??? Has anyone on here used parcelforce to send to Sardinia ? I will be using parcelforce but booking it through www.interparcel.com You do get stung for an additional £15 because some of there postcodes/zip codes are classed as difficult areas to deliver. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated as I have not sent the bass yet. Cheers

[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1381674664' post='2242094'] Interested in this as I may be shipping a bass to a buyer in New Jersey. What insurance did you guys get? [/quote] I went to interparcel to get some quotes. My roscoe beck will be going to Sardinia Italy once payment has cleared, it's being sent with parcelforce euro priority with £1000 worth of cover for £66. It should take around 5 days to get there but that will depend on how long their customs decide to hang onto it. I find that it's best to discuss with the buyer how they would like it sent so that if it does get lost or damaged, the buyer has had the chance to pay for a more expensive courier & the seller is not responsible once it has left their hands.
