If you’re moving home and need to ship a large, valuable or awkward musical instrument – or you’re simply selling an old guitar on eBay – it can be tricky to manage the packing and delivery alone.
That’s why PACK & SEND has put together a guide to shipping musical instruments. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know when shipping instruments, including how PACK & SEND makes the process effortless.
Shipping musical instruments can be a hassle, given their fragile nature. So, it’s important to appropriately wrap, pack and protect them and their intricate components.
When looking to pack musical instruments – from small stringed instruments to large percussion sets – space and appropriate materials are key. Packing materials must be robust and durable to provide protection during transit or storage.
If you’re worried about the safety of your fragile instruments in transit – or simply need support packing up large or awkward pieces – a professional courier can collect, pack and ship your items effortlessly.
You can count on PACK & SEND to use the most high-quality, robust materials in our packaging, and you can rest easy knowing that our bespoke packaging services will be tailored to fit the needs of your instruments.
From collection and packing to doorstep delivery, PACK & SEND handles the entire process for you. Get a quote today for our range of bespoke packing services for your instruments.
Specialist Packing
The most important aspect of shipping musical instruments is safe and secure wrapping.
For example, when shipping guitars, the delicate parts of the instrument, like the neck and head, require special care and attention as they can easily become damaged in transit by sudden movement or impact.
Musical instruments should be packed tight into containers, using packing infills or paper to pad the most fragile areas and minimise movement during transport.
When you work with PACK & SEND, we customise our wrapping to offer maximum protection for your precious instruments.
Heavy or awkward shipments aren’t a problem, either. If you’re looking to transport uniquely shaped musical instruments – from brass instruments to percussion – PACK & SEND handles the whole wrapping process for you, to guard against scrapes and scuffs on your valuables.
Specialist PACKING
Whether they hold sentimental or monetary value, PACK & SEND has an obligation to get all packages to their destination in perfect condition and on time.
For peace of mind when packing and shipping your musical instruments, you should look to protect them with a warranty cover.
Our comprehensive warranty protection offers an extensive range of cover options to guard against loss, damage or theft – letting you rest easy knowing that you’re always safe when shipping instruments anywhere across the globe.
