I'm still waiting on EQIP ( 9 weeks this Friday - grrrrrr), but in the meantime we are clearing out stuff and prioritizing what to take with us once we do get orders. My wife is a musician and will need to ship her guitars, piano, and drums along with additional gear. We are concerned about damage and/or loss during transit. Has anyone shipped similar items and if so, what route do you recommend? Will our HHG and/or UB be insured? Thanks!
