I posted last week about moving my cats home with me, but I also have two bass guitars that the post office won't ship because they're over a meter long. I don't have a high budget, but I don't want to just get rid of them. Does anyone know of a service that will ship instruments? I don't mind if they have to go by boat. I'd rather send them by ( Read more... )
