How can you send a guitar through the post?

Im in the UK and Im planning on selling both a guitar and amp (seperately most likely). I was wondering, how I could send it safely? And how much is it likely to cost?

I can’t answer cost, b/c I’m in the USA. But you’d need to wrap it in bubble-wrap plastic, then place in a box and put plenty of insulation on the bottom, top, and sides to handle the shock and vibration as it goes through the parcel handling process. I’d send it via private parcel like UPS, who offers insurance coverage at no extra charge, to protect yourself from theft or if its delivered to the wrong address.
