i have to send a guitar from melb to brisbane, apparently Aus Post don't do guitars so i need some advice on sending something that big interstate, and it'll need insurance.

Toll, Fastway couriers i've had guitars shipped by both of them and they came in top shape except for 1 or 2 holes in the package. don't know if they do insurance but they should anyway.

All the big courier services offer insurance, but I wouldn't trust them myself, not with an expensive guitar.

We have a few places here in sydney called "Pack and Send" where you can go, get them to provide the right packaging and insurance and courier service. It's more expensive of course but you'll get a safe delivery.

Not sure if there's something similar down there?

i checked the fastway website and it said $15, that's a bit cheap isn't it? What did it cost you?

i've had my Engl Fireball head sent to me for just $50 so yeah it does seem cheap and all but they're reliable i might just go and check up how much it cost me cos it was awhile ago but i think it was around the the $30-50 region

aus post reckon it's be $45 with insurance, i might use them.

yes it's now in sunny QLD, luckily it went to a good home, the dude is a bit of a collector and has a few nice guitars and has wanted a Belman since he played one a few years back. He has a les paul, Strat and Tele, so it's sitting with some fine company which i'm glad of. Last thing i wanted was for some dude to say 'yeah we're doing a film clip and need to smash a guitar'
