- Photos are taken during the packing process to make sure nothing is missed.
USA/Canada Shipping
- Within the US and Canada, we will ship via selected freight carriers. We do not use low-price/high-damage carriers as we want the equipment to get safely to you.
International Shipping

We have extensive experience packing and shipping fragile instruments globally.
Our experience and process

We understand that every instrument has unique packing and shipping requirements; our team understands that no one wants to spend thousands of dollars and receive a damaged instrument.
Our process involves evaluating every instrument to determine the safest shipping method and the best process for packing.
We generally ship parcels either via UPS or freight for all larger goods.
Whenever we ship freight, we use an ISPM-15 wooden crates or pallets made from ½” plywood and 1x4 framing. (Our crates are Internationally Compliant).
On freight shipments, we use 2” 1.7 lb. density foam, which provides excellent cushioning and support for the instrument.
Instruments are safely braced inside the crates. We use solid boards with 1” foam shrink-wrapped around them, which provides cushioning in all directions and holds instruments firmly in place.
Final step is to photograph everything inside the crate and then seal it with screws.
