International Shipping


Okay folks. Anyone know of any reliable internationally shipping companies, in the USA especially, that will ship to the UK?

Why? you ask...

I'm finally, well, and truely narked with rip-off britain. Ok, I just realised that a list price JS1200CA at $1500 will be charged at £1399 over here. Which sucks a mightly large fallus object...

Now $1500 is an almighty:

£806

Even better, when guys have stores with a deal on, a JS1000 is usually in the vicinity of:

$1120 = £602 !!!

now, the JS1200 is essentially the same guitar. So it stands to reason that these two prices would be very similar to what they use for aforementioned guitar.

So, as you probably guessed. Theres a pretty fr*ckin big difference.

Britain defenitly does suck when it comes to prices. I cannot moan enough. Buying from the jolly ole USA is the way forward. I am yet to try it but I am not far off. The prices are just soooo good and especially at this exchange rate.

If you buy "used" especially, it is just mind-blowing the savings!
And even bigger is if you buy high end. So if you buy a JEM10th for example, you will save bucketloads of $$$.

Its most defenitely the way to go. I will NEVER buy a guitar new from a UK shop or retailer ever again.
