Shipping Internationally?

Post by tylerferris1213 »

What is the best way to ship a tuba internationally? I have someone in the UK interested in one of my tubas for sale.

Pre 9-11, Bax Global was - hands down - the best way.

If you've a friend/associate whose business/employer has an account with them, I'd look into a quote.

Otherwise, you really can't use them unless you have a business with a commercial location, your place is investigated/cleared against being terrorist, and (with the Covid scare) who knows (??) what else...
