Beedster Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Email and they'll quote postage. They usually hold it for you for 3 days also. You will need to factor in import duty etc. I rcently bouight a neck from the USA and that import duty and UK courier handling fee on a £300 item was £70. Ishibashi are very good Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzibass Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 +1 I bought my '89 G&L L1000 from them they are very helpful but you will need to take account for the time differences when emailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I dealt with a very efficient guy at Ishibashi called Hiroaki Gohno. All very straightforward. Shipping and insurance (their standard charge I think) was 16000 Yen (£104). The import duty had to be paid when it arrived in the UK - from memory it was something like 17.5% but someone else on BC will know for sure. The extras do really add up.
