Hi! I'm looking to make my first sale and i wanted to know if anyone has any steps, tricks, or tips for packaging ukes CORRECTLY. Thanks!
Be sure to use a good sized box, it's better to be safe then sorry. Here is what my Kamaka with a hard shell case came in.
Yeah I was pleased to see my ukulele arrive in that box.That box is not too big! The boxes I see most ukes shipped in are ridiculously small.
On the other hand I knew someone who shipped an uke from Japan to Hawaii in its' hard case alone. No box, just a couple of wraps with duct tape around the case latches. Taped a label to it and shipped it! Surprisingly enough it made the trip fine.
No! Use proper packing material. Newspaper has no strength. I can guarantee another box or a person will land on top of your box, so use something sensible and strong.Line the box with, at worst, heaps of crumpled up newspaper,
