Hello, I am new to UU and have been on the beginner boards doing research. I am in the market for a ukulele and figured it would be nice to buy from someone here if available. My concern, though is that I am in NY and weather has been pretty killer (cold/dry) lately. Would it be safe to ship a uke that might be subject to extreme temp changes or sit in a USPS/FedEX/UPS warehouse or truck for hours at a time in the cold?
I know laminate would eliminate this concern but I am a musician and have multiple drumkits/gutars/basses, etc so I sort of know I will want something solid at some point. I may end up starting w/ a laminate and wait for better weather or a local shop for the solid but would be nice to support the board and its favored vendors.
(*Also, as more of a health concern, can UAS set in before even owning your first uke?)
