We can arrange collection of your instrument through our local courier (please see rates below). We have relied on Carr Road Distribution LTD for all our carriage requirements, ever since our repair company was launched in 2008. We highly recommend them!

Collection & delivery times: Once we receive your repair request details & contact information, we will arrange a suitable time for collection with you. Please note that collection & delivery times vary depending on location, however we will normally notify if AM or PM. We can usually arrange collection for the day after the initial enquiry (if required), although time-scales for completion of repairs will need to be pre-arranged with ourselves.
Preparing your instrument for carriage: Whilst our collections & deliveries are on a fragile service as standard, you will still need to ensure your instrument is carefully packaged. Guitars should preferably sent in a hard case ensuring the strings are loosened off slightly before dispatch. Cardboard boxes with plenty of bubble wrap will do just fine if you do not have a hard case. Please ensure you include (in the guitar case) your contact details & a brief description of the work required on your instrument! This is just to make life easier for us at this end & there is no danger of you receiving the wrong guitar/amplifier.
We will contact you as soon as your instrument arrives safely at our repair centre.
Returning your instrument: Once all the repair work on your instrument is complete we will send you an invoice via email. This will include your repair & carriage costs. Please note: We can only dispatch repaired equipment once payments have cleared. We accept payment via Paypal or direct bank transfer (paying in details will be provided on your invoice). We would ask you politely to inform us of your instruments safe arrival.
