PSA about Shipping- Thank your Dealer

[Sweat]

Thank your dealer if they include free shipping or discount upgrades, well why am I bringing this up you say????????

Well first please realize that UPS and USPS have raised there rates, alot, on large packages, same with all shippers.

Has really become expensive to ship. Heres my current example.

One of my beloved EBMM guitars needs a little TLC from SLO so I called Willie D. yesterday to get an RA#.

Went this morning to get it out to them and well shocked at the costs, 20% more than the last time I sent something out there and to upgrade for 1 day earlier it was 67% more, just one fing day, dont want to tell you how much 2 day was, might as well got a 2nd mortgage.

OK anyways just all realize shipping is expensive

I was just quoted an inflated rate as well. $100 cheapest insured cross country. You're right that they have gone up. I'm going to find some way around it, like buying a camel or something.

Big up to Pete Dubaldo!

Just realized this yesterday. I am in the middle of a trade (with a Silo coming to me) and was shocked at the price to ship AZ to WA. For the same insured service the F carrier was $21 cheaper than the U carrier (yes I went to U first and left with my axe-to-be-traded and went to F). Still the F carrier was higher than ever, but U was ridiculous. Shop around, we are going to be on dimensional weight, and don't forget insurance.
