sending a bass from the UK to the USA

[rikk]

What's the best way to send a bass from the UK to the USA? Who should I avoid using. Who actually HAS insurance.
Thanks!

I haven't shipped from the UK to the USA as I'm in Australia. But I have shipped in 8 Rics from the the USA to Australia using Fedex with great success. They are easy to deal with at both ends, tracking is a breeze and all my basses have arrived in pristine condition. From personal experience I can recommend them.

I have never sent one from the UK to the USA but I did buy this abolute beauty off ebay about 2 years ago

Hope that helps.

I'll try that again.

Ah that' more like it... Like I said, Fed Ex got this home safe from LA to liverpool and I would definately use them again, as said above, good online tracking and undamaged delivery.

Not to highjack, but very nice bass, Alan. The black trim looks really good on it, and I usually don't go for blue or BT.

John, Stop hijacking this thread!!! What's a blue bass have to do with shipping UK to US. The one I'm having shipped is green.

yeah it is one of the best ricks I have ever seen... sadly I sold it about 4 months ago and really regret it now.
Back to the thread now... fed ex was good and the bass was shipped in its ric flight case taped up so it couldn't open in transit.
I would use fed ex again DEFINATELY.
