Cost is always a consideration on the one hand, but the cost of damage or loss needs to be considered on the other. For expensive equipment, I use a flight case (used low-cost flight case from eBay) or have a crate made (can be more cost-effective depending on who builds it for you). Moving companies can usually build crates. Iıd recommend a crate or flight case for anything heavy, which tends to get ³handled² (read ³tossed²) more roughly. With a proper crate or flight case, your equipment will survive most any shipper. Add plenty of ³Fragile², ³Delicate², and ³This Side Up² labels. My favorite label is the ³Delicate Instruments² label, like this: http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/packaging/labels-dispensers/fragile-label s/delicate-instrument-handle-with-care-6-6-white-red-black We ship enough equipment to justify a roll of these labels - doesnıt make sense for a one-off shipment. ~ Eric _________________________ Eric Jacobs Principal The Audio Archive, Inc. 1325 Howard Ave, #906 Burlingame, CA 94010 tel: 408-221-2128 [log in to unmask] Disc and Tape Audio Transfer Services and Preservation Consulting Please consider the environment before printing this email.
