Buying music & instruments in Fredericton
Fredericton is the provincial capital, a university and government town on the river with a good deal of preserved architecture and a strong local arts and craft scene. It is small, walkable and dominated by two institutions rather than an industry.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Leave it tuned and come back to it twenty minutes later, since an instrument that will not hold pitch has a problem at the pegs or the bridge. Look inside the soundhole with a light for loose bracing, and check the neck joint where it meets the body.
Collecting it in Fredericton
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The downtown is compact and walkable and the river trail system is genuinely useful. Driving and parking are both easy, so anything large is straightforward.
