All items are packed to the highest degree for transit. Proudly, our packaging
is at the highest of standards, with the best reputation you will find anywhere
in the industry. This comes from 2500+ guitars (and counting) being sent
without issue both Australia wide and internationally over 8+ years (and
counting). A great amount of pride and detail goes into making sure every item
arrives safe and in a timely manner. Pedals and small items are packed in
multiple layering of bubble wrap and double corrugated shipping cardboard.
Guitars, pending the instrument, have strings de tuned so there is no tension
on the neck and headstock. Neck/body /headstock are wrapped separately in
multiple bubble wrap layers, high density foam and/or cardboard reinforced. If
applicable it is then placed in gig/soft case or hard case. If in gig/soft case
it is once again bubble wrapped/foam reinforced before being boxed. Each
package/box is custom cut and fit in heavy duty double corrugated shipping
cardboard. All voids are padded out and the body edge, base, and top of head
stock foam reinforced/padded. Finally, the boxing will have copious amounts of
high visibility “Fragile” and “This way up” warning labels.
--- We
are also extremely environmentally conscious. We re use and recycle almost all
bubble wrap, foam, and cardboard packaging materials.
