Packaging requirements when sending a parcel to Canada
When sending a parcel with us, please take some time to ensure that it is correctly packaged, this will reduce any chance of damage or delay, caused by insufficiently packed items. Please wrap any fragile items in a few layers of bubble wrap before inserting into the outer box. Please use new boxes, rather than previously used ones, as they offer a higher level of protection and use double walled boxes for larger or heavier items. You can fill any voids within the box with additional packaging material, or foam packaging peanuts. Please shake the box to check for any movement and add additional packing material if needed.
Once you are happy with the packaging, seal the box with 2-3 layers of strong parcel tape and attach the parcel label to the outside of the box, together with a commercial invoice (if applicable). It is also worth enclosing a further copy of the parcel label inside the box, should the original label become detached or damaged.
If you are insuring your items, please take a few minutes to read the insurance requirements that relate to packaging.
Should you have any questions relating to shipping to Canada, we can be contacted by phone during working hours, live chat or email.

Feline Guitars has partnered with this small company for several years and consistently received excellent service and competitive pricing. Before that, we dealt directly with UPS, but found communication increasingly difficult. In an industry that's becoming more automated and impersonal, the personal attention and support offered by this team is both refreshing and greatly appreciated.

Southwell Guitars has been using Overland Express for several years to ship our instruments around the world. Unlike most major courier companies, which typically don't insure musical instruments, Overland Express offers a specialist insurance service tailored specifically for them—providing peace of mind for both my customers and myself. I also appreciate how accessible Stuart and Tim are—they're always easy to reach if I have questions or need assistance. Their support was especially valuable during the disruption caused by Brexit and the COVID pandemic. Overland Express is my go-to courier for shipping guitars, something I do regularly, and I recommend their services without hesitation.

I've been using Overland Express for several years now to ship a significant number of both electric and acoustic guitars annually. I needed a shipping company that not only offered competitive rates but also provided insurance that would genuinely cover the full value of the instruments in the event of loss or damage. That's exactly what I found with Stuart and the team at Overland Express. They work with top-tier couriers and offer affordable insurance options for worldwide guitar shipping. In all the years I've used their service, I haven't encountered a single issue. Their service is fast, dependable, and it's a real advantage to have easy access to someone who can promptly assist if anything does come up. Highly recommended.
