Skol303 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If memory serves, those I've sent through the mail have been around 12Kg including packaging... but I tend to go a little bonkers with the packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Bass, bubblewrap and cardboard usually comes in at just under 7Kg when I send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I use www.interparcel.com This sends by UPS and costs about £11 plus insurance. A £300 bass would cost about £13 to send insured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always estimate at 10kg, as up to that the costs are the same anyway - or at least have been when I`ve entered 7, then changed my mind and put 10.

bartelby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 According to Thomann's tracking page, the 4 string jazz, guitar box, bubble wrap and shipping box as 4Kgs and the 5 String is 7Kgs. That's one hell of a B string!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I posted a Fender P yesterday in SKB case and cardboard box with near enough a roll of parcel tape wrapped round it! According to my recepit it weighed 11.634kg. Those SKB cases aren't what I'd call lightweight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
