kingswampthing Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi - I live in the UK and had a request from someone in France about postage of my bass (Yamaha BB3000 in hard case) can anyone recommend the best/cost effective way/price to send it. I've not had to do this before so all advice gratefully accepted. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I`ve used www.parcel2go.com to send basses to Greece and Finland. Cost was about £40 - £50. www.interparcel.com are also worth a look. One thing to watch out for, whichever company you end up using is the small print. For example, Parcelforce will allow you to pay for insurance, but their small print shows musical instruments will not be compensated for. Many others stipulate that guitars will only be compensated for if sent in a hard case. So do the reading, sometimes the cheapest isn`t the best way to do it.

pete.young Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Check out http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156589-couriers-packing/ and http://basschat.co.uk/topic/36625-courier-points-system-and-courier-issues/ Current hot favourite seems to be UPS via interparcel.
