I'm selling my Deering Sierra and I'm looking for advice on shipping. I'm planning to use UPS and ship from Colorado to California. I found a web page that offers tips on packing the banjo for shipping that looked good.

My question is: Should I remove the strap and put that in the box outside the Deering Case? Or should I leave it attached to the banjo? It does offer a buffer in the case, makes it nice and snug when I carry it around, but I think it will limit the packing material that I can fit around the resonator and pot.

Grateful for any advice!

The deering case provided the perfect way to ship the banjo but any extra you are doing just adds even more protection. I remember that the strap was not on the banjo but that was only because he was keeping the present strap and he threw in an older strap (which I still use -- works great). Leather straps shouldn't be a problem but hopefully someone else answers who has experience shipping banjos.
