I wish you good experiences with FedEx - atleast, better than I had. I shipped a like-new little Besson tuba in a wonderful case from Norfolk to Baltimore, a four-hour drive. When the horn arrived about three days later, the case was trashed and so was the bottom bow of the horn. According to the report, the driver put it on the recipient's front porch and ran. Fed Ex refused to pay a dime, although the company representative in Norfolk assured me it was packed well enough. From that time, I have not used Fed Ex, and I have had not one instrument damaged by UPS. Of course, there is the one tuba that was routed from Wisconsin to me in Atlanta via San Fransisco . . .(!?)
