Bad news,
I went to the Post Office today and they say the box is too big to send.
It doesn't weigh much - that wan't the problem.
But the formula they use is to measure the length of the longest side and then measure the circumfrence - presumably to get a figure for cubic volume.
They said the length was fine but the circumference was over the maximum by 10 inches.
For the heck of it, I then took the package down to FedEx to see what they'd say.
Well, they'd take it (size-wise) no problem.
But shipping to Rome, Italy would be $400+.
This does not look good.
I spent a couple of weeks looking for a good box.
The one I found came from a musical instrument store and was an actual acoustic guitar shipping box.
It even had UPS shipping tags on it so I know it was shippable (domestically at least).
Perhaps the carton was a little larger than it needed to be - but not by much.
I wanted to have plenty of foam around the baritone to protect it.
The box is only a little larger than what wouldfit a big dreadnaught guitar and case.
I don't hold much hope for finding a slightly smaller box.
I was lucky to get the one I got.
Unless you can think of any other ideas, I think that's the end of it.
Sorry.
