Cairobill Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Want to avoid UPS and the like. Any recommendations for shipping a bass (in hardcase in quite a large box with padding inside) to Holland? Need it be reliable and insurable. I'm based in Kent. Cheers! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I use Interparcel who seem to be brokers for a number of other couriers - a flight to the Netherlands is currently about £50 I think - almost worth taking it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in a new Gator case in the hold, no padding, picked up a few scuffs but that was all - which the new owner liked for the added authentic "cred". I was a bit sus that the customs guy was quizzing me to see if I was trying to smuggle a valuable item but no, he was a player who was genuinely interested. Great people the Dutch, I love the place.
