Members starsailor803 Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Definitely not UPS. When I was shipping the Rat to you they wanted to charge me like $46! For a freakin' pedal! I obviously went with USPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NetStar Posted April 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 What are you having shipped? Besides USPS, How Else Could I Get A Guitar To Me From America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MegaTom Posted April 3, 2008 Members Share Posted April 3, 2008 Duh. $240 seems a little high for shipping a guitar to the UK. I did it once no more than 18 months ago and I believe it cost less than $180. I know postage has went up some since then... but I doubt it's that much higher. --edit-- I just got an online quote of $151.50, assuming a package weight of 40 lbs and a size of 60 inches or less in length.

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 shipping a guitar overseas is ridiculously expensive. $200 is normal. Shipping an amp once cost me $300. USPS PRIORITY international is probably the cheapest that i have found. They are not the fastest, but i haven't had any problem.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattM3 Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 USPS is going to be the cheapest option. UPS is outrageous for international mail. Not sure about FedEx. There's also DHL, they might be cheaper. Problem with USPS is if you want insurance and all that the price goes up to the same as UPS. I did see a guitar sent to France once that got lost and returned to sender a few months later. That's the big risk with USPS and the local country's post.

Members mike.sartori Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 I like that 72' style better anyway. Just buy that. Don't bother with international shipping unless it's something really expensive and rare and difficult to get anywhere else (like certain japanese guitars.)
