Keyboard Shipping

[Trojan Horse]

This might sound like a silly question, I haven't bought a keyboard online (yet) and having just sold an old keyboard on the bay' I would like to know how you package your keyboard?

It's inside it's original box and packaging but I am quite unsure what do to next, don't have any boxes big enough to fit them and don't know if I should just slap on a mailing label and post it as it is or something else?

Also do keyboard sized objects get classed as medium or small parcels, want to know to figure shipping costs


Thanks

wrap it in some of the brown paper you can get at the supermarket or the post office and then slap on the postage label.

easiest way to sort out the cost of postage is just to take it into the post office and do it there.

Thanks for the quick response,

I'll go to the post office and do the wrapping stuff, I can't really sort out the postage on the spot as I have to send him an invoice with postage cost

can you give me a rough estimate of the paper cost and shipping cost so I can go ahead and bill him?

Thanks

paper is about 1.50

postage i would imagine would be less than a fiver, as on ebay, you can actually buy a keyboard for 5 quid which includes free delivery.

remember you can change postage to suit costs, i.e 2nd class will be cheap, 1st class recorded will be expensive etc

Alright thanks,

mind you those cheap keyboards are usually with big ebay powersellers who have access to huge discounts on postage and packaging. Plus they're included in the price, it's just so cheap to manufacture in asia.
