How hard is the card board box? Is it hard enough to avoid the ukulele from breaking whilst it's internationally shipped?

The ukulele was in its box and placed into another bigger box with paper-like lining as cushion and placed into another bigger box. I received mine intact from US to Singapore.

It was in a very well constructed box. I can't speak as to how it would hold up in an international shipment, as I ordered it in the US, but as I recall it was packaged very well.

Mine was well packed. The uke was in an elongated triangular cardboard box inside a rectangular box - all w/ appropriate padding.

The board is small to begin with (about half the size of a regular board game), and it will help you keep the cards and other stuff neatly inside it. As for the actual pieces, you only get 3 ships, and they have their own compartment inside the box. You can't fit the whole game in a smallish bag. The ships are VERY fragile and break easily. As careful as I am, I already broke one of the ship's bases.

I am not sure but, we did not receive one with our package...I did order one though....but, it was not much help either. Hope this helps! (It's a cute uke for the price...plays well :)

Thanks for your question, This music box is sold by an independent seller on amazon, and it seems they do ship to the U.K. You can read more about this seller's shipping policies here:

It is pretty huge. I fly often (not with my guitar) and there are size restrictions for carry-ons. I think if you check your guitar at the boarding gate (depends on the airline) they will tag it and make you leave it for a bag handler to put into the bottom of the plane. I would check it at the ticket counter. This container is extremely sturdy and I wouldn't worry about damage. I would be more concerned about theft. So you want to get insurance if it is feasible.

I got mine on eBay from "Cleveland pawn" for $675 and it was shipped in the nice new "Guardian" banjo case, not the high quality expensive case, but not a junk neither.

I doubt you can get by security with it since it's so big, but it's built so well checking isn't an issue. I've taken my guitar on several flights with no problem. One unlisted perk to this case is that it looks *very* similar to traveling gun cases. In fact, multiple TSA reps thought it was a gun case. The reason this matters is that they may treat guitars like crap, but it turns out many of the agents have an affinity for guns/recreational shooting, so they actually treat cases that may be gun cases with extra care.

Gosh, it's been a few months now and they came in a bigger box with other things. The guitars were each wrapped in an individual plastic bag, and as I recall, they were really small. Don't think it would be too bad to ship. Sorry this isn't more helpful.

mine came in a very nice box inside of a brown card-board one--the assembly was not so easy and I did have to go to a hardware store and buy little washer to keep it from falling apart!

From the amazon description, "Our Ukulele kits feature mahogany parts and make a great instrument." That said, this isn't an instrument made out of fine wood. It's nice for a toy or for the experience of assembling an instrument. For that, it's a great value. It's certainly playable though.

My Ukulele is a Kala Concert KA-SC. It fits this case like it was made for it. It was important to me that the Uke did not bounce around because I travel, and it doesn't, but at the same time there is room. I don't have to force the Ukulele into it. I could not be happier with it. It is sturdy enough to protect and formed to fit the concert Ukulele. Hope this helps.

The box is the same dimensions as the game board, maybe about an extra inch in the width and height. No packing material inside to protect the board, so I would be worried about the board cracking if anything heavy was thrown on top of it.

It is a mini, I have a friend with the large jam box and has had no issues. My small one is still kicking strong with the damage.

It is a good travel guitar based on the price. Because it is so inexpensive, you may not be too concerned about it getting banged up or lost. Based on size, I would say that it is not as good as a smaller sized guitar for travel. Please note that I am a small person in stature, so that is why I would make this comment. If you are a bigger person and the size isn't an issue, then it's great for travel. FYI-This guitar also has a wonderful sound and stays tuned for a very long time. I highly recommend this guitar!

Not hard at all. This case is also not as bulky as the other card holder cases. Love it!

The guitar comes quickly and safely packed in a box with casing and secured in place & very lightweight. I have ordered two and have not had any problem.
