Hi All

Just sold a reverb on Ebay (tried on here but you guys didn't want it!)
Should I let the air out to post it?
I know royal mail don't like rear shocks, anyone know if the post will be ok or am I better off going down the courier route?

If I don't let the air out, should I compress it to save package size or is that a bad idea? I never like leaving it compressed for long, could also have hilarious consequences if the button is pressed while packed......

cheers

You have to compress it to get it back in its box. You did keep the box didn't you?

From previous threads, I believe royal mail reserves the right to refuse delivery (and then sell for its own profit) any part that "can be" pressurised, without any comeback from the sender

I wouldn't send anything with them that was remotely describable as such unless it was worth very little

Parcel monkey and choose someone who won't [s]Resell it on ebay[/s] destroy it as it is not permitted on their terms and conditions.

I wouldn't use Royal Mail after the previous experiences reported on here.

Thanks for all the replies, think I'll compress with air still in and sort a courier.
