janmaat Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hiya, I recently moved from the UK to the continent, and won't be renting a van. How do you guys ship stuff? I have a couple of basses, a cab, even a banged up double bass I'd love to move to Berlin. Might be interesting for our many non-UK friends on this forum too, in terms of buying gear from the UK and so forth. Many thanks for advice.

Lozz196 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I`ve used Parcel2go.com to send basses to Greece, and Finland, and was about £40 a time, including insurance (must be sent in a hard-case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyeggo Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Whatever courier you use, make sure you take out some bloody good insurance. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Read the insurance small print as a lot of the couriers will take your money for insurance but exclude musical instruments. You can get around it by removing the bass necks - not sure about the double bass though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
