Shipping

For the record:

I will ship Priority Mail for nearly everything I sell, because it's quicker than first class, parcel post, and media mail, and offers a tracking number. I also get the boxes for free, which saves me a lot of money.

I understand it can be a drag to pay those shipping fees, but wouldn't it suck to pay for a shipping method that's non-trackable and have the rare item you've been looking for for years, get lost in the mail without any way to recover it?

Shipping Tips: Don't Do This!



This box is entirely too small for a Minimoog.

If you're going to pack up a synth, make sure the box is AT LEAST 2 inches bigger ON ALL SIDES. You need to be able to put the synth that's been wrapped in a few layers of bubblewrap in the box and still have room left over for packing peanuts.

Why yes, it is a lot of trouble, and yes, it can get expensive. However, it's always worth it!
