I had a 5-string Corvette $$, Wes had a 4-string. I had posted for a string-count-only trade and just waited. Wes followed up recently and we did the trade. Shipping was right to the door is both cases with no issues ala UPS. Whole thing done in under a week. Communication was great which helped in this case as we needed to square away what we sent and what stayed with us.
