Guitar shipping

[Ohaire]

I have a guitar I'm most likely going to be selling and most likely going the ebay route. I've never had to ship a guitar before, so looking for some info from those who have, because I really want to find the best way to go about it. It has it's own form-fitting case, but from there i have no idea where to go!

Any help would much be apprecitiated!

go to a local guitar store and ask for an old box, and get a crap load of styrofoam peanuts or crumpled newspaper as padding.

around my house there are UPS stores where you can go and get packing supplies (boxes, peanuts, etc.) and ship items. we also have a store just called "pack n ship" which is pretty self-explanatory. anyway, you could look through the yellowbook or something for places like that in your area. if you have no luck with that, im sure your local post office would have boxes and peanuts you could buy.

if the guitar has considerable value, check out this thread about shipping insurance,value,etc
