The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar.  We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article:   HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR.  Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.

Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance.  After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.
