FuNkShUi Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've had a bit of interest from Europe regarding my bass that i'm selling. I've been hesitant as i don't want it to end up in pieces. But i'd be happy to send it if i could find a good company. So has anyone got any recommendations for couriers they have used? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I used DPD to Germany recently. No problems. 1 hr pickup and delivery windows.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 That sounds promising. Hate having a whole day as a pick up and delivery window too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've used DPD a few times. They have forgotten to pick up for 3 days on a couple of occasions, but the basses arrived intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Read the small print of whoever you go with, often musical instruments aren't covered in the insurance, though they'll still take your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNkShUi Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 It'll definitely be sent in a hard case as its a through neck, so haven't got the option of removing the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Just requested a quote from DPD..... By air it was £145, by road £35. How is there such a difference? Especially when they're scheduled to arrive the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
