The Ultimate Headless Guitar & Bass Resource

Shipping - Our Philosophy

World-Class Packaging and Shipping at HeadlessUSA

At HeadlessUSA, we take great pride in our world-class packaging process. With over 30 years of experience shipping premium musical instruments, you can trust that your purchase will arrive safely and securely. While vintage headless instruments like Steinbergers are known for their durability and structural integrity, properly packaging them for transit requires the time, care, and expertise that we bring to every shipment.

We go the extra mile by “over-packing” all shipments to ensure maximum protection, and every instrument we ship is fully insured for your peace of mind. UPS has been our primary shipping partner for years, and we’ve consistently seen positive results. However, if you have a preferred carrier, we are happy to accommodate your request—just give us a call on the Headless Hotline to discuss your shipping options.

For shipments within the 48 contiguous US states, guitar or bass shipping costs typically range between $75 and $125, including full insurance coverage. We believe in transparency, so we never add hidden handling fees—you pay only for the actual cost of shipping.

Need it faster? No problem. If you're looking for 2-day or overnight air service, we’re happy to research the options and provide a quote. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our customers, and part of that is ensuring you receive your instrument in perfect condition, on time, and hassle-free.

We typically use UPS Ground, which reaches most locations in the 48 states within 5 business days. For an accurate shipping quote, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you.

Stay Headless!
