U2 GUITAR: Aramex transport signed guitar for international rock band.

Aramex has successfully transported two valuable guitars, which were autographed and donated by all members of the rock group U2 for a Samaritans charity auction in the United Kingdom.

American actor Declan Joyce donated the guitars on the band's behalf to Joeri Groenwoud, sales director of Aramex, USA, who then delivered them to Matinair's Los Angeles airport facility himself.

Aramex endorsed the care and cost of shipping the highly prized guitars as part of the company's social corporate responsibility initiative. On arrival into the UK the guitars were inspected to ensure they had arrived safely before being delivered to the Samaritans in Kent.

"We handle plenty of precious shipments in the course of a year, but this one had The Edge - and Bono, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. too of course!" said Anthony O'Neill, director of international express for Aramex in the United Kingdom. "Meticulous planning and our personal attention to detail made sure everything went off precisely according to plan."

Guitar donated on behalf of the band??

There is something wrong here, U2 are not involved in this matter at all. They do not know who Declan Joyce is and what else he is doing on their behalf.

The guitar was given to him by other people.

This sound like this guy wants his name to appear on papers using charity excuses and it seems he did not have to pay for any transport.
