The secret to shipping your instrument is to keep it simple.

​

First! Have an appointment for your repair!

​

Use a high octane shipping company like UPS or FedEx. Send me your tracking information! I need to know where things are.

​

Use a big enough box that's in great condition with thick walls. 

• Rule of thumb: 2-3 inches minimum of padding in all directions.

• Use the width of your hand for space! Top, Bottom, Sides & Ends.

• Shipping a piccolo in a checkbook box is a bad idea.

​​

Use high quality padding like foam, or bubble wrap. 

​

Shake the box. It shouldn't rattle or move inside.

​

Mark the box 'Fragile" and tape all seams to keep moisture out.
