Question:

Help with mailing instruments - I'm looking to mail a cello from across the country...?

First, what are the dimensions of a full size cello? Air seems too expensive, so I'm leaning toward ground shipping...any related stories/ recommendations to share about this topic?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Go with UPS ground, the box should be about 5 feet tall.
Shipping should be around 75-100 dollars.
