To make sure your belongings stay safe and secure during shipping, you want to pack it properly. Consider that your case could be dropped, be subject to vibrations and jostling from transport, and experience humidity and temperature changes. Luckily, ATA cases are incredibly sturdy so you won't have to worry about them being compressed from stacking. Make sure your gear and belongings inside the case have the proper cushioning to ensure everything arrives safely at your destination. Give us a call if you have questions on selecting the right foam for your case and contents.

Print your shipping label at home and make sure it is securely fastened to the outside of your case. Remember to make sure all the latches on your case are completely and securely locked down. For an added layer of security, you can reinforce the latches with zip ties. Then, your case is ready for its next adventure.

If your situation requires your trusty large cases to travel with you and you decide shipping is the best idea, you have a few choices. To avoid the $100 or $120 fee of shipping oversized cases, you could choose a road case that falls well under the size guidelines of all shipping companies. Since that often isn't an option due to the size of what's in the case, simply work the extra fees into your travel budget. In most instances, it's well worth the extra money to opt for door to door shipping service when traveling with large cases.
