Hamster Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Isn't $300 for shipping a wee bit excessive? IIRC the last bass I had shipped to me from the US&A was $150 by USPS and was here in 6 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have had basses shipped from the States (bolt-on necks removed) and shipping has cost £50-$70! I tend to think that shipping UK to The States is more expensive but I've shipped a couple of expensive (NT) Warwicks over the pond with full insurance and it cost about £100, shipping was 3/5 days door-to-door... not bad when one was delivered Boxing Day!

Even the cheapo SX bass I bought was only $63, and that arrived in 8 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey chaps. Don't forget this is in Canada and not the US. Significant difference there! Though saying that.. Quebec.. means you're adding in the "French" factor.. so triple the ass pain potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
