I always use ParcelForce 48 - somewhere between £20 and £25, from memory.
The very company that delivered a £1750 keyboard to me yesterday that had obviously been dropped from quite high up on to one corner, causing a split through the cardboard box (original manufacturer shipping carton). Very obvious mistreatment. When I told the PF driver that I was writing "damaged" on the signature panel, he grinned and said "no-one pays any attention to that" and walked off.The damage to the keyboard is limited to one of the end-cheeks, luckily; this keyboard being designed for hard life on tour.
Have sent the photos to the seller and will let him know what the replacement cost is, and he'll try to reclaim from PF.
My new Oswald, inspired by the Mischief Maker. It plays beautifully and sounds awesome.
Specs are:
Birdsey maple neck with 10/56 carve
Alder body, Daphne blue over 3 tone burst
'65, RW '69 and Tex Special inspired hand wound pickups
Vol, tone and blend circuit
Klusson vintage tuners
Calaham bridge/ trem

I have just decided after viewing this thread that I need a Telecaster.
Indeed, I only have 3.A Thinline with Blackguard pickups, A solid body partscaster with Tonerider Hot classics and another partscaster with Schaller vintage humbuckers.
These partner with a Strat and a Shergold but I think I need another couple of Teles, one with P90s and another with Fideletrons or TV Jones

I think I need a Thinline as well...
I've just about convinced myself not to buy a 4th 'Tele' (well an Esquire really, but close enough). I've got a humbucker one (self modified from a MiM model), a standard single coil one and the remains of a Squire Tele that I plan to convert into an Esquire. I was going to make the Squire into a Cabronita, but I have a Gretsch now, so not sure I'd get much out of it.
No guarantee I won't buy another later on though: I saw a gorgeous 1960 double bound 2 tone one, way above my pay grade, but I loved the looks of it...might have to find something similar looking for a bit less £sss.

Don't tempt me, it's years since I had a Tele. I had a gorgeous 2-tone sunburst one I built from parts, and a Johhny Brook one that I'd converted to Nashville tuning (and for some reason sold for more than I'd paid for it, brand new from a music shop).Now the nearest I have is this partscaster with a Tele neck.
Mate has a Tele and had a play on my JS25th a few weeks ago.
He handed it back with a wistful expression and said "so much easier to play than a tele...."
Back to the relic thing - I really like them, but the only 'relic' I do have is my Floral Pattern JEM, that had a hard life on stage (Puddle of Mud guitarist apparently was an owner).
So relic'd, but the old fashioned way. Hard work.

I've got a bunch of guitars at home:
Fender Sonoran electro-acoustic
A cheap Ibanez acoustic
A 1982 Ibanez Roadstar II in H-H config
A strat copy Ibanez Roadstar II
An Epiphone Dot 335 with a Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker and some upgraded electrics
Another Ibanez with a neck through design that I forget the name of
A body and a neck from an Ibanez Prestige RG2570 that I might actually build one day....
I'm currently working out in Afghanistan though and going insane without a guitar, so have bought one of these:
And one of these:
Looking forward to them turning up! I'm not expecting miracles from the guitar but reviews are pretty solid. Just hoping I like the neck...
