We've shipped to almost every state, and occasionally outside the country as well, our success rate is quite high with instruments rarely being damaged in shipping, and we haven't experienced a shipper losing a package in years.

Packing an instrument properly can help avoid much damage typically endured by packages
USPS has bought a few instruments from us...
Insuring instruments for shipping covers the cost of any repairs, or a loss!
We like to make sure the customer is covered regardless
We like to cork closed some usual problem areas
Not too tight, but firm enough that they won't shake loose
It can be difficult to find all the corks we put in
The corks must be installed & removed with care
It may seem like a little thing
Those little repairs can add up though
Last few corks I hid by the low B & Bb keys
Think we're ready for a box?
Not yet!
You want the extra cushion to compress a little to conform to the instrument, but not so much that it puts too much stress or pressure on any point
I've been taping latches & handles for a while out of habit
We keep a lot of boxes so that we have a good selection to choose from
I'll wrap the case separate if I can, as an added safety measure
Not quite enough yet
Much better!
Paperwork is important!
I prefer an envelope for consolidation
