Hi guys,

I’m hoping that someone could perhaps help me with this.

I need to get a guitar shipped to the UK, and from looking at figures thrown around in the classifieds of sites such as ss.org, it seems that you can get it done for about $120 through someone reliable such as USPS or FedEx. However, after agreeing a sale with a seller in the US over a gorgeous DC727 (which I am OH SO completely excited about!), he has obtained quotes of around $300 from these suppliers. I just went on the DHS site myself and got a quote of $299… :^(

I’d imagine that the dimensions would be about 50” x 24” x 6”, and weighing in at around 20lbs, shipped in a hardcase. These figures are purely speculative though, so if they’re wrong, please do flag this up!!

If anyone could help me out of my dilemma and find a company that’d do it for under $150 I would be incredibly grateful…

Dan
