Anyone bought a guitar from eBay or reverb that shipped outside of Canada? Just wondering if there are extra taxes or import/duty fees or not. I don’t want to find out after I buy something.
Thanks,
Dan

on all the forums i go on, i have never once heard anyone say something that even suggested this happened to them. this is the very first time i have ever heard such a thing. where did you hear it? i am skeptical that they steal your guitarbut if the guitar has rosewood, they sometimes confiscate or steal the guitar. You may need to have the seller include a CITES certificate, which I think can take some effort and time.
Here's one example on this forum, not about a guitar, see LexxM3’s post. Let me find one about guitars.where did you hear it? i am skeptical that they steal your guitar
the gretch pages will not load for me, i don't know why. the first link you sent is due to a very specific set of circumstances, none of which apply to the scenario in this thread. the one in this thread involves a cites issue and cross border shipping. the one in your post is a completely different issue. both ebay and reverb (which does not use the global shipping service that caused the issue in your link) have shipped a metric fuckton of guitars, and weight size will not be an issue. only the question of cites regs, which i still doubt would be an issue here.Here's one example on this forum, not about a guitar, see LexxM3’s post.

There are at least two stories here.
Ebay meltdown : Other Guitars : The Gretsch Pages

Definitely never use Fedex or UPS. They are crooks.What did I do wrong/should do differently in the future?
