Has anyone had this kit shipped to Europe?

To The Netherlands to be exact?

Hi,

I am looking for experiences with shipping this kit (or the 100W plexi for that matter) to The Netherlands.

George, have you shipped it that far already?

What's the cost, how about customs, damaging, shipping times?

Any input apprectiated, thanks!

You knew you couldn't resist having more JTM45 amp porn to flash around, didn't you?

Well, the amp would be for my band's other guitarist, but it would be my build....and my porn

I have sent complete amp kits, but not the JTM 45 yet.

The biggest concern with shipping the kits abroad is the length plus girth restrictions on the large box containing the majority of the kit. The limit is typically either 81 inches or 108 inches total for most countries. Those with the 81" limit, I have to ship global express guranteed. At a cost of typically $150-170. Those with the 108" limit I can ship airmail parcel post or global express mail.

Netherlands has the 108" limit and the kit ships in two packages, so your options are:

Airmail:
1 package at 20 pounds $ 66.25
1 package at 26 pounds $ 83.65

global express mail (4-6 days)

1 package at 20 pounds $ 86.00
1 package at 26 pounds $ 105.20

Anyone can calculate the costs for their country and see restirctions here:

Thanks George, that doesn't look too bad

I'll check with my bandmate what he thinks about this.
