After you sign for the instrument, we recommend that you leave the instrument sit for a short time to allow the temperature to adjust to room temperature. If the outdoor weather is either cold or hot compared to the indoor temperature, we ask that you allow two hours before unpacking the guitar.
As long as it is a bona fide UPS shipping location that is staffed, that is fine. It is very important that you OBTAIN A RECEIPT proving that you shipped the guitar and showing the UPS tracking number.
Remember that it is your responsibility to get the instrument to UPS for shipment. To protect yourself from the instrument being lost, it is recommended that you arrange a pickup directly with UPS if at all possible. Otherwise, it is imperative that you gather as much information as possible, in case the instrument is lost before it gets to UPS. If you plan to trust the hotel to ship the guitar, then we recommend dealing directly with a manager and noting the manager's name. We also recommend having the manager sign for the guitar, and even photographing the handoff.
No. To better protect our instruments, they are shipped detuned approximately 1/2 to 1 full step.
