Yep, as long as the guitar was abused in shipping it's a non-issue.
I saw a finish crack before my eyes once. that was an interesting experience.
I brought it from the hotel to the inside of the hall at the ohio guitar show put it on a stand then they opened the doors to the outside and it just checked like crazy.
I ship a bunch of guitars, if the weather is below 30 I tend not to ship them. I will wait. I think new hartford has the same policy.
I also tend to ship on a monday if the guitar is going across country so it will get the the destination and be delivered on a friday that way it is always moving as opposed to sitting in a ups depot or truck over the weekend.
I will almost always ship on monday instead of friday. I am not sure if that helps but it works for me.

Welcome back to the Guild fold, curbucci!
Alpep, I'm sure the word "interesting" is not the first thing that came to your mind.
Ouch! That must've been a serious arctic blast of cold air in that Ohio auditorium.

guitars traveling in the back of a truck for 8 hours then into a hotel room for 8 hours then into the auditorium in subzero weather not good
it was a 60's gibson that was in perfect shape prior to the cracking
