Check out what fedex "dropped" off

I've seen these on PA and production cases shipped long distance.

I couldn't find cost per unit, but it's probably worth it on the $1k + gear.
I notice they sell warning tape for the outside to let handlers know there's a shock sensor inside. Maybe skip buying the sensor and just buy the warning tape!

This thread had me worried cause I've got a bass due in 2 days from Fed Ex... but then I remembered it's a headless....





Sorry about your bass - hope everything works out for you.

IMO, you could probably ship a fender without a box or a case and it wouldn't break.

ha maybe they dont have an angled headstock thank god. I am double boxing it in a case and its only shipping about 400 miles so I am not to worried

after what seems like forever, fedex showed up today and picked the bass up..hopefully i'll have my $$ soon.

 

[Reticle]

I don't know how Fedex does it, but I've been in the back of the local UPS terminal. Imagine this: A guy standing by a huge pile of boxes outside the back end of a semitrailer. He's pitching all those boxs into the trailer up to the front end of it. Now imagine your bass being pitched like that.

Anytime you ship anything with a common carrier, you should pack it, or have it packed like this guy is going to be handling it.

Because he is.
