Location: Canberra, Australia | Hi Muz,
AFAIK, it's still Aust Post who impose the limitation... so unless USPS have done a deal with a freight crowd like FedEx/UPS?DHL who they can subby out their larger international items, and I'd be suprised if this was so.. they'd still be limited by the Aust Post restriction. But I'd also like to know where Paul gained his advice, because if it's legit, it would avoid a world of pain..
Update as of this morning...
email back from US freight office...Fedex will get it from Arthur's house to the freight people's office, then they will forward it to me (via DHL they said). I'll get a DHL tracking number but not a Fedex one..
My frustration is still palpable but gently simmering now,, marginally below boiling point of molten steel..LOL.
U crack me up - she don't know...
Want me to send U a chrissy card congratulating U on yr gorgeous gift from U to yourself?? might break the ice gently??!!!!!!!!ROFL..even funnier when U tell here and she says she's known for months..

Location: Canberra, Australia | Well, happy Christmas to me!
And a happy new year..
The guitar arrived yesterday arvo..
pretty amazing service - arrived DHL Sydney 1141hrs,cleared customs 1141hrs,with courier 1306hrs and on my doorstep 1630hrs!!
No damage, no extra customs or freight charges and it seems no hidden suprises.
Well one actually. Guitar came complete with all it's tags, owners manuals etc etc tucked in the case.
I'm guessing factory strings - they have coloured bridge ends unlike the usual plain brass rings.
The machine itself is immaculate. Couple marks here and there - VERY minor tho'. Very much looking forward to getting to know it,,
A happy ending to quite a protracted saga....
I s'pose Muz you're not the exclusive agent in Oz now for these babies..LOL.
Cheers,
David |

The coloured ends probably signify D'Addarios. Keep using them, they sound great. Don't use Martin strings. They'll sound OK for about 3 minutes, the D'Adds will last 3 weeks.
If you ever get up to the Sunshine State, give me a call. But don't mention MY 2005ES to the missus, OK? |

Prolly a good time to wish those over the pond happy XMas..
so......
Happy XMAS guys over the pond..!!
Knowing many travel over the period, if board members or relatives are coming this way (well Sydney specifically....)please feel very welcome to drop me an email. More than happy to show U round sunny Sydney or at least get U on yr way. Same goes for NSW in general.A foreign place with limited time can be a real pain, and local knowledge is priceless I reckon. Best of all it's free!!
Cheers,
Dave. |
