Coke Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well, UPS isn't much better with packages. I'd almost say the airline is a better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edde Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You can ship it UPS Ground just do it ahead of flying. It WILL be a specific number of days to deliver unless they screw up and lose it or are late. If someone working on the plane sees it they can just grab it. In a shipping box it's just a box.

GCNTSi Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'd ship it ground, I cant stand how the airline guys always throw the luggage around like it's trash, I always watch them toss the luggage on the plane and it's annoying, even just being mostly clothes it bugs me, but a guitar could be damaged easily by them. And the airline would only pay you for it if it is lost. I had a stereo that was broken by the airline, Delta I think, and I tried to get them to pay for it but that didn't happen. -GCNTSi.
