Wow, what's happened in the past few months?!?!?

I'm now paying 'bout a third more for shipping gits than I did not all that long ago. If I sell many more, I'll need a fed 'bailout'! :rolleyes:

From now on, it's gonna be guitar cost plus actual shipping/insurance. Geeez...

Johnny, I'm using Fedex with an online account, and haven't had a noticeable price increase in quite a while. I think it only cost me 37.00 or so to send the 1758 to the factory.

Guess I'll have to open a FedEx account.

For the GC, UPS charged $58 and the USPS wanted $107! "No thank ya ma'am"... :eek:

Off to FedEx...

Just be thankful you're not sending them to the 51st state.

Richard and Jim,

I know that overseas shipping can be a killer. But what about within OZ?

When gas prices got so high, UPS decided they needed to raise their prices. The actual increase didn't take effect right away though. We are starting to see it now.
