I recently shipped a bass to a BC'er in France using DPD through http://www.transglobalexpress.co.uk/

Prices are much better through them, you just need to open an account (doesn't cost anything.)

As for DPD they were great, bass was insured for £1000 (no exclusions for instruments), they picked it up when they said they would and it was easily tracked online, only took 2 working days and most importantly it arrived still in one piece!

Used these people recently with good results.
They have accounts with many carriers and negotiate big discounts.

Lest the 'for sale basses' forum gets clogged with other issues perhaps this could be moved to 'general bass discussion'.

i work for UPS so i'm bound to say them! considering the way Derek's bass was packed and sent from Germany (in another thread) I say thumbs up for UPS in getting it to him in one piece! Mind you they are not cheap.

I've recently used UPS via Interparcel to ship a bass to Cardiff, so that's almost international No hassle at all, rang ahead when they were nearby, collected and delivered on time, great service.
