wombatboter Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Bit weird that this is "impossible to ship". And why would you take the neck off for "safety reasons". I've shipped countless basses and they were never "oversized", they just got the reference XL ..that's all. You put it in a box well wrapped and if someone agrees to pay the shipping costs, what's the problem ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Same here @wombatboter. Using TNT Express (24 hours delivery within Europe, not EEC, but Europe) will cost around 80 to 90 Euros fully insured and trackable. The shipping itself is around 50 Euros and the insurance is 5% of the value. At any price tag, I always include the shipping fee to Europe in my sales... This helps a LOT ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sounds like the seller is only ruling out shipping to the US, which is fair enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nap Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) guys... shipping an item at this pricetag from germany to the US now requiers customs paper work that i have to admit - i dont understand anymore and cannot provide. i mainly ship with DHL from germany and if the parcel is longer than 120cm (which it will be) its called "sperrgut" - which when shipped outside germany is very expensive. if anyone knows better alternatives to DHL i will greatly appreciate.

nap Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 and BTW if someone wants me to ship the bass in one piece and pay for it, no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Admired this when it was for sale on eBay Kleinszeigen last month, wish I had the money. It’s a stunner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just to chime in on the shipping, I would imagine there could potentially be some CITES issues with a Wal. Wenge, Mahogany and Rosewood are all listed varieties I believe. Brexit may also result in complications if the bass comes to the UK from Germany after 31st Dec.

I never paid more as 50 Eur sending a Bass (as a sperrgut) with German DHL to any EU country. I don't consider that a lot...

Hellzero Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just ask Fedex as TNT Express is a partner of Fedex and certainly DHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
