Marky L Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ohhhh!! I thought my so far fruitless search was about to come to an end - [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130350418094&fromMakeTrack=true"]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...mMakeTrack=true[/url] but the seller will only ship in the US.. BOOOOOOO!!! Anyone happen to be in the US in the next few days?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thats a beauty why do they not reissue these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Corrr there isn't much that interests me bass-wise these days, but [i]that[/i] is a different animal entirely. Shame he won't ship outside the US-seems pretty adamant about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's breaking my heart..... I've even started to ask a few people at work if they have close relatives in the States that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky L Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I mean, if he is shipping in the US then he'll have to package it well to withstand possibly a good 1000 miles + in the back of various delivery trucks. So what's the deal with packing it to go on a plane? He'll have collected by a courier to take to the airport anyway. Pfffft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) What I was going to suggest. Also try [url="http://www.ship2me.com"]www.ship2me.com[/url] Edited December 11, 2009 by john_the_bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wow - that's stunning! +1 on the mail forwarding services. And also remember that import taxes will bump up the price as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Hey!! Thanks for the mail forwarding sites, I had totally forgotten about these, this opens things up a bit! Anybody have any good or bad experiences to report on using these sort of facilities? Ta M. Edited December 11, 2009 by Marky L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also,ive never presonally used a company like the one mentioned, but ive never really heard anything bad about them, and when i have its normally the actual postal sevice bringing it over who is to blame, But im sure youll get it one piece!

Marky L Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well, I did bid for it, but it went beyond my budget. For once I was very strict on my limit, having to factor in shipping, VAT and duty. The price it went for would have pushed me too far. I am gutted though, this is going to me my jinxed target for a many years I think. Missed two now.. lets hope it's third time lucky!! Also know I am aware of the forward shipping companies, that does open up my market further. And thanks to all the help and kind offers too. This forum does reafirm that bassists really are the best and nicest bunch of musos around . Excuse me now, I'm just shuffling of to a dark corner for a quiet sob....
