Once you put in the basic info it will give you several service options and prices (hover over each with mouse and it tells you details). I used this to send to Finland and Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMike Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 +1 for Interparcel - I've used them to send a bass cab from the UK to Estonia. Decent prices, and they answered a support email within 12 hours too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Interparcel are good, as are Parcel2go - just don`t choose the Parcelforce option, as apparently for musical instruments their upper insurance limit is £200. Even though they will allow you to buy insurance for higher levels than this, should the item get lost/damaged, they won`t pay. This from other info I`ve read on here, btw, not from personal experience. My personal experience with Parcelforce was them taking 11 days to delver a 48hour item.

Born 2B Mild Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Parcel2go limit insurance for musical instruments to £1000. It's well hidden in their small print, but it is true as I recently 'discussed' it with them. FWIW Int. Parcelforce have never let me down and they pick up from you. Last courier I used was to Germany about a week a go. I used DHL and they were picking up in minutes of booking, then delivered ahead of schedule. Not cheap, mind, but that bass was a highly valuable one, so I didn't mind the cost. Good luck with your shipping. PS. Sometimes it's cheaper to book a return trip on a car ferry and have a wee break at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I used FedEx to send a bass to France recently and they were really efficient. I paid for the three day service, which was an OK price but the bass was an expensive one and I wanted it fully insured, and the bass arrived by 9am the following day.
