spencer.b Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I'm about to sell a bass and send it up north,any courier recommendations ,I expect there is already a thread but I can't seem to find it Quote
Paul S Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 As you can tell from my feedback I do quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing and always use Interparcel - the service using UPS. I'm on first name terms with the local guy The only time I ever had a problem it was because I didn't pack the bass well enough and a sticky-out control knob had the shaft bent slightly - that was my fault not theirs. Use lots of packaging! Quote
franzbassist Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Same as Paul. UPS through Interparcel is my go to courier. Never had a problem, and I use them a lot! Quote
neepheid Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Another vote for Interparcel/UPS. Never had an issue. Quote
Rumple Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I agree, UPS via interparcel have always been good for me. Hermes are to be avoided, their insurance doesn't cover musical instruments, they have failed to pick-up on two occasions, take ages to deliver and have lost stuff in the past. Quote
BigRedX Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Another Interparcel/UPS user here. Pack it well, if it's not in a case then double-box it. Any courier service is only as good as its weakest link. My local driver is great but the pick-up point nearest to me is terrible. I've also had to make my first claim for a damaged item sent by Interparcel. It wasn't a bass but the claims procedure highlighted the necessity of good packing - they wanted to see photos of both the external box and all the internal padding packaging to ensure that the content had been protect as much as possible before settling.
