Shipping Musical Instruments from Boston

August 16, 2017 by admin

Musicians are passionate about their instruments. This isn’t surprising when you consider the sheer number of hours that a musician spends with their instrument. Between practice and performances, the hours add up quickly. Getting your instrument tuned and configured to your exact preferences takes time and pain-staking effort. Musical instruments tend to be very expensive: you can easily spend thousands of dollars on a high-end guitar or violin.

Taken together, these factors make shipping musical instruments from Boston a very stressful endeavor. While most musicians would prefer to hand deliver instruments and personally accompany them through the shipping process, that’s not often a practical option. This is especially true for musical instrument retailers: you just can’t drive across town, the state, or the country every time someone buys a trumpet!

Tips for Shipping Musical Instruments from Boston

#1: Work with an experienced shipping company

Musical instruments need special care to survive the shipping process intact and in good condition. Simply slapping a shipping label on an instrument case is not going to do the trick. Yet that’s exactly the treatment you can expect from the novice staff working in the ‘shipping center’ of an office supply superstore. For the appropriate level of protection for your instrument, you want strong cardboard shipping boxes or custom shipping crates used in addition to the instrument’s case. In some cases, instruments need to be shipped in humidity-controlled vehicles: an experienced Boston shipping company can arrange that for you.

#2: Tracking & Insurance Protection are Essential

You know you’re going to be stressed out while your musical instrument is being shipped. It’s part of life as a musician. Reduce your anxiety as much as possible by having an experienced Boston shipping company provide your shipment with the appropriate tracking and insurance tools. Insurance paperwork in particular must be completed accurately and completely. Hopefully you will never need to file a claim, but if you do, it’s important that your coverage was properly secured!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move from San Francisco to Boston. There was a bit of a lag period of about a month from when my items were picked up to when I arrived in Boston. The company was great at accommodating my schedule. I was so overwhelmed when I arrived to Boston! It was quite comforting that the movers were punctual, professional and kind and that all my things arrived in great condition. The movers were even kind enough to install my window AC when they realized it was too heavy for me to pick up! I would definitely recommend Boston Pack and Ship."
