Cases:

All custom ordered mandolins now come with a custom designed hard shell case from Cedar Creek Cases.  I have been battling for many years with quality control issues of cheap cases made in Korea or China.  No more, I've had enough.  Cedar Creek cases are custom made for me so they fit like a glove, are stronger, and look great and offer more protection to the instrument.  However, if you want a flight case, or the very best case available, a Presto case is recommended.  The guitar comes with a hard shell case as standard, or a Presto (highly recommended) guitar case at additional cost.

Here is the standard Cedar Creek mandolin case that is custom made for my mandolins.

• Presto case: high quality moulded fibreglass.  Price will vary according to what the maker charges me, but count on around $200 extra ($400 for the guitar).  This is the older rectangular shaped Presto mandolin case that has plenty of storage space.

Presto now have a smaller and lighter wedge shaped mandolin case available that I think is rather neat, and they also have an option to insulate the case at extra cost.  The choice is your's.  These are custom hand made cases made to my specifications that are strong enough to check on as airline baggage, I have done just that many times myself.  I only offer the ivory colour because this provides the best protection.  Don't worry about the light colour showing scuff marks.  These cases can be cleaned to look like new.  I use one myself that is probably around 15 years old.  Great cases, made in Perth Western Australia.

All other options are at no additional cost

Note that costs associated with transport and insurance are not included in the above prices.  Instruments are carefully packed in a large carton and shipped by registered post within Australia and by international courier overseas (DHL).  DHL is expensive, but carries the least risk to the customer and they handle customs.  Other methods of transport can be arranged, but the customer bears the risk and may need to deal with Customs in the destination country.  Note that USA customers must use DHL because of Lacey Act requirements.
