If I need to return the instrument to you in the mail, what's the best way?
The best way is to return it to us in the box it was sent to you in. If you don’t have that box, or it wasn’t sent to you in the mail, then any box is fine. Just make sure to put a layer of packing peanuts on the bottom of the box then put the instrument in the case, and put the case on the layer of peanuts. Then fill the rest of the box with peanuts and mail it to us through the post office, UPS, or Fedex. Whatever is most convenient for you. You do not need to insure it.
