The Brasswind may have no problem shipping euphoniums via UPS. But as of 9 months ago when I got my tuba, they would only ship tubas via FedEx.

Consumer Reports also recently had an article on the various shippers. FedEx 2nd day was the only shipping method where they commented on more damaged shipments.

Personally, I would rather trust Charlie's experience in shipping tubas. Tubas can be damaged by dropping the box on the bell end, and the box may not even appear damaged in such a situation!
