It is not our intention to make money on shipping or postage and packing. We do need to fully recover genuine costs however. We will always try to make it as reasonable as possible.
When sending guitars outside of the UK:- We normally use FedEx for shipping to USA, Canada, Japan, Sweden etc. and have an account with them. Please note that any import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer and will be billed separately direct to the client by the shipping company. We are unable to include or quote these costs if applicable because of the difficulty in finding out the rates that apply to different parts of the world and different states in the USA for example.
Invoices accompanying shipment will show the true value of the shipment.
When transportation is the responsibility of the buyer, you can arrange the pick-up yourself with any company at your choice or we can arrange it for you and obtain prices from FedEx, UPS, DHL, Parcelforce or any other you wish. Where shipping is quoted to you as an extra, we will add 10% as a contribution for packaging materials mainly. Transportation costs (unless specifically included in the instrument price) must be paid with the guitar sales price before shipping.
When sending guitars to Eire:- we need to check with each shipment so please enquire.
When sending guitars within England, Wales, N.Ireland & Scotland:- For all but very distant locations, e.g. Scottish Highlands we havechanged courier recently and our carriage charge is usually £10 for two-day, sometimes next day delivery.
We are always happy to be advised of other services and methods.
