Ship Suitcase Internationally
Love To Take Musical Instruments Any Where You Go.?
Musical instruments are unique expressions of our personality, from personalized tuning pegs to customized drumsticks. They go beyond making music; they reflect who we are. When heading abroad for a holiday, studying, or relocating, bringing your instruments becomes essential. Purchasing new equipment in a different country is unappealing, considering their expense and sentimental value. Fortunately, Shipping musical instruments abroad can now be a straightforward, cost-effective, and time-saving process. It’s like a harmonious solution for your musical journey.
Things to be careful about while shipping Musical Instruments internationally
- Prepare your instrument for shipping as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. This might include steps like loosening the strings and providing extra support, especially for the neck of a guitar.
- Ensure a tight fit within the case and protect vulnerable areas.
- Use a hard case for your musical instrument; soft gig bags are not suitable for shipping.
- Place the instrument’s hard case inside a sturdy double-walled box.
- Fill the box with appropriate packaging materials such as bubble wrap or similar items. This helps suspend the instrument case securely within the box.
- Keep in mind that your instrument will travel on automated belts and sorting chutes. These systems don’t recognize labels like “this way up” or “fragile”. You must therefore ensure that your instrument is thoroughly packaged for this method of transport.
- Proper packaging is crucial as it absorbs the shock during the journey down sorting chutes.
- Many musical instrument cases are designed for carrying, not shipping. They often consist of a layer of polystyrene or styrofoam covered with canvas or plastic.
- If you choose to send a musical instrument without a box, be aware that the case won’t provide adequate shock absorption during transit. This can lead to damage.
How to measure the Musical Instrument?
What is volumetric weight?
Our pricing policy is based on the package’s actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. For instance, if you are shipping a box with dimensions of 50cm x 50cm x 50cm, its maximum volume would be calculated as length x breadth x weight/5000, which in this case would be 25kg. Therefore, even if the actual weight of the box is less than 25kg, you will be charged for 25kg. In another scenario, if your box has a volumetric weight of 25kg but contains an item weighing 30kg, you will be charged for the actual weight of 5kg instead of the volumetric weight of 25kg.
