I detest shipping…..

[JackBootedThug]

Literally hate it. Me and my bro did a swap and I sent him two guitars. I packed the fuk out of them but damn… I hate the wait until I get confirmation that they are there and well… they are tejas bound Juggy!!! So glad I bought this book…..

I don't mind shipping guitars as much as I do big speaker cabs and heads.

Another thing I hate is having people on Reverb bug me repeatedly to ship cabs I have plainly listed as local pickup only.

The art of the wait.
Anything of value i ever bought for some reason came from CA to NY.
That week of waiting is stress city.

My 02 LP i bought new out of SD Christmas week. Paid for overnight. Told the schmuck to wait until after new year to ship.

No he goes and ships it Christmas eve.
Got delayed 3 days in Memphis for a snow storm. Sat in an unheated warehouse so i was told by phone.

I finally get it 5 days after it left SD and fedex would not refund me the overnight

I hear ya—only local deals for me now. Unfortunately you end up at the mercy of the market and here in the northeast it sucks right now. My gear account is flush but there is nothing to buy.

Back in 07 I shipped my first guitar. Epiphone Zakk Buzzsaw. Shipped UPS with insurance. UPS destroyed the guitar and then refused to pay the insurance claim. I was out the money and the guitar. I have never shipped a guitar since and never used UPS since.
I was considering selling and shipping a ESP but I dont know that I can bring myself to take the chance

At Severs Market in East Alton, I get em cut 1.5 inches. Rub em down with my custom rub, smoke them on the weber for 2 hours. Candy paint em with my homemade bbq sauce and LIGHTLY wrap them for about 45 min. Take them out, one last sear and serve.

Yeah thats the best low n slow. I used to cut 1.5" for folks. Cheap italian dressing is a great marinade by itself.

They charge insane amounts these days and break more and more shit. How come it costs $300 bucks to ship something that weighs 1000 lbs but $150 bucks to ship something that weighs 50 lbs? So annoying.

When I was in my 20s in Hawaii, I shipped a LINE 6 FLEXTONE II and instead of bubble wrap I wrapped it with a big blanket. At the shipping place the guy was like "what the hell?" and completely shut me down. Looking back, I must have looked like a complete looney, lol.

my market is the opposite. I have things I'd like to sell but no one's buying.

One time I bought a guitar from Ishibashi and they wrapped the thing in about a foot of bubble wrap on all sides, no box. Just a giantic ball of bubble wrap that was taped to hell and the shipping sticker slapped on it, from Japan to the USA. It was fine.

I bought an amp off a Canadian dude on hcaf… he wrapped it in nothing but bubble wrap. It looked like a giant bubble wrap football. It was completely unharmed…lol
