&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Thanks for your tip re couriers; Parcelforce, FexEx, Overland &amp=

&gt; others<br>
&gt;&gt; all require packing in a hard case; box was too long for UPS; DHL =

&gt;&gt; specialist musical carriers wanted =C2=A3180 for a dedicated van d=

&gt;&gt; door. Parcelforce etc will do it for =C2=A310 but with only =C2=A3=
50<br>
&gt;&gt; compensation, which wouldn't make me comfortable.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I've bought &amp; sold many guitars and shipped by courier but I g=
uess<br>
&gt;&gt; conditions have tightened up since last time, or perhaps I was<br>
&gt; sending<br>
&gt;&gt; less valuable ones...<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Anyway, I'm inclined to pass on the p/x dues to the shipping<br>
&gt; hassles,<br>
&gt;&gt; buy the Dues and put the Tele on Reverb for local collection, whic=

&gt;&gt; worked fine for the last ones.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Let me know if that's ok with you,<br>
