Shipping an Axis

[Vairish]

Hey Guys!

I just bought my very first EBMM, A stunning looking mint condition Axis Rosewood:

I have recently started a new job and have a few things I need to pay off so money is a little tight at the moment so my question is how necessary would it be to buy postal insurance on this for $79? The seller has sold a lot of items (including a few guitars) so I would be quite confident in his packing skills, plus the guitar does ship in a EBMM hard case which I presume is a very high quality case which should be more than adequate to protect it. If anyone has anything to chime in please do

J.

Welcome! How about telling us where you stay and where the guitar ship from? Then we can advise you accordingly.

Congrats on the Rosewood ASS!

Ha I suppose that could help. I'm from Ireland and this guitar is located in the UK. I suppose insurance should be bought just in case it gets lost in transit, I'm just so strapped for cash these days and had no intention of buying anything till I saw this! Damn you Ernie ball!

All insurance is a waste of money.....until something goes wrong!!
Assuming you bought it on EBay it's actually the seller's responsibility to get it to you safely & you can chargeback via PayPal if he doesn't.
Most of my EBay purchases have been from the USA and insurance has always been included in the USPS $100 or so it cost to send. They were all packed well & arrived in excellent shape.
$79 sounds expensive for insurance....ParcelForce sent my Axis SS from UK to Spain for 30 pounds insured. Try www.parcel2go.com .they may be cheaper.

Thats a fantastic point! 40 pounds does seem a bit excessive for insurance (on top of 40 pounds for shipping) so with that in mind I might forgo the insurance Ill check out parcel2go.com when I get out of work and see what kinda deal I can muster up

Cheers mate! I doubt this will be my last EBMM so I may take you up on getting some dealer info off you when I'm purchasing my next one
