International shipping HELP!

Post by Reeltarded »

For over a month I have been looking for an economical way to ship a Marshall Major to Norway. The price quotes have been between $475-$1,100.

What on Earth?

Anyone have a magic answer? I wouldn't feel positive about shipping the amp for prices like that. Insanity.

Sorry Roe! I have been trying everything!

Do you know someone in your circles flying over to Norway soon? Ask them to bring it over as checked extra luggage. Should be ca 100-175$ with SAS, see the price list:

I don't, but any ideas are helpful! I am at the end of my sanity with these shippers. Insanity is the word, for sure.

At $1100, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to make a personal delivery!

Has the world lost it's mind?

Yes. Fiscally. Yes. Over the cliff. Fear nothing but the future. It has the best chance at smothering us without conscience.

Which boggles the mind considering the following...

Sent a kid down to a local neighborhood convenience store/deli to pick up some garlic. Used some that night and noticed a day or so later the rest had turned to dust.

I looked on the label and it said "Product of China." I assume that the convenience store probably bought it at some place like Sam's Club.

How in the hell can it be cost effective to ship garlic from China?

Obviously on a damn slow boat.

I'm with Phil, for that much you could deliver it personally and take a nice vacation. While you're there, try the lutefisk. :D
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

No way. I know far too much to even try to eat that stuff. :)
