i would advise against using parcelforce if you're just using a cardbaord box, however well-padded - they wont pay out in the event of damage in transit unless its in a hard case. I found this out the hard way,.

Do check carefully re-insurance. Some carriers won't insure instruments unless it's in a hard case.

Parcelforce state in their PDF guidance that guitars need to be in a hard case and they won't pay out if they aren't. Just had this happen to me and it cost me big time . Beware

Be interesting to see how U.S. and U.K. copyright laws work in this instance. I think that the damages being sought by the yanks are optimistic to say the least.

They always are, it's just a shot across the bows to encourage negotiation and early settlement rather than actual court time
Sadly not - I am in Nottinghamshire near sutton in Ashfield
I don't think I can devote the time to running one at moment (listening to icastle and others) as I have a disabled partner and toddler with sleep issues. Will have to see if I can find one locally
Started on classical and then got a cheapie strat
I heard New Years Day and finally found out it was bass I was hearing, I bought a no name white/white/maple p bass copy and should have spent more time at it.
I went back to square 1 about a year ago
Questions : who would normally pay the PayPal fees ? The buyer or the seller?
Is it expected that the despatching seller pays the carriage insurance ? I assume if it's damaged in transit the seller should refund the buyer and then claim off the carrier for repair or replacement ?
Thanks to f£&king parcelforce smashing up the prosebass I now have to pay Paul rose to fix it up and then claim back off parcel force before I can contemplate spending anything

I had a BeatBass - their Hofner Macca Bass knockoff - and it was lovely.
For the money, they're great value and I shifted mine for what I paid for it.
