Courier from Chorley to Bristol

Chaps and chapesses,

Do any of you fine lads and lasses have any advice on delivering? I'm trying to get a bass from Chorley to Bristol and there are some real horror stories out there regarding couriers.

Any advice on who to use/avoid or is a road trip likely the only safe way to do it?

I always find it a traumatic experience. Ideally the bass with be in a hard case and have an outer box. It can be insured if double boxed like this but that can cost a fortune depending on the value of the bass. 

An option is to remove the neck for shipping...

I've recently used DPD local fora number of deliveries, not all instruments, and they were spot on.

Agree with @GreeneKing regarding insurance, in most cases it's more than courier charges. I've started using Secursus to insure courier deliveries. Quite a bit cheaper than couriers insurance but I haven't had to claim, so not sure how good they are if you do need to claim.
