I’m buying a guitar and I’m struggling to find a decent way to send it. When packed, it is 107cm ling, so aussie post isn’t an option. I considered transdirect, but when I spoke to them, over the phone they said that even without the authority to leave box, ticked and with signature on delivery requested, it is still up to the driver whether he just leaves it, or not. I need to take delivery, personally, inspect the guitar for any damage and take photos, if there is any, in front of the driver, for insurance purposes. I know what both shipping and insurance companies are like and they will work like ten men, to avoid actually paying out. Does anyone know of a decent shipping company that won’t bankrupt me?
