Frequently Asked Questions

Can Craters & Freighters Nashville handle unusual items like musical instruments for air travel?

Yes – the Nashville team is skilled at custom solutions for unique shipments, even musical instruments. One traveling musician needed to ship a harp overseas and was anxious about airline rules. C&F Nashville built a custom crate that met Delta Airlines’ baggage policy (under 150 inches and under 50 lbs), allowing the harp to fly as checked baggage with no extra fees. Airline staff were surprised it could travel that way, but after confirming the policy, they accepted it. The harp made multiple flights and arrived without damage. The client was so impressed with Nashville’s patience and “excellent work” that she kept the custom box for future tours.

How reliable is Craters & Freighters Nashville for critical shipments?

Extremely reliable – even over many years of service. Long-term Nashville clients report shipments arriving on time and intact.

He also praised their deep knowledge of international documentation, which has been “perfect” every time.
