I just spoke with Fed ex and USPS. Fed Ex priority international delivers to your door. USPS brokerage fees are included in their shipping quotes that I pass on to you, just like Fed Ex.
International shipping with USPS (ugh!) A while back I filled out all the paperwork for customs along with the weight and dimensions. The label printed and was not rejected. Three days later, this package was returned to me. Their reason? They said I must add the H and the W, times 2, add the L and it must not total more than I think it was 72". Now we must re-pack in 2 boxes which will cost more. I did the math for this one order, and Fed Ex would have been MUCH cheaper to ship as one package. EVERYONE overwhelmingly requested USPS for their international shipping and I am stumped as to "why USPS?"
I don't know about FedEx, but I have been royally screwed by the outrageous brokerage fees UPS charges. So that could have something to do with it.

NB: Everyone planning to modify one of the TNC recent GB products, please be aware that we are having some special transformers made by the best transformer facility in the world, AMI/TAB-Funkenwerk.
I have a sample right now made for the ACM-3 ribbon that really improves the beast.
So hold off buying some goofy inferior thing, just to be mod-happy.
Details at Eleven.
Always a great intrigue in this forum.
How do I get rid of "Newbie" under my moniker?
I realize I am new to this forum but I am hardly a newbie in the world of sound,music,musicianship and recording.
I'd rather nothing at all instead of "Newbie"
Kick. Ass.NB: Everyone planning to modify one of the TNC recent GB products, please be aware that we are having some special transformers made by the best transformer facility in the world, AMI/TAB-Funkenwerk.

Unfortunately, Randy's a bit tied up these days....sigh. I miss his banter. Hope he's doing OK.Just a thought, but it should be possible to find the names of those of us who log into the console regularly, to check our status. If you pull those names first, you're likely to get paid immediately (or very quickly, anyway.) People who haven't logged in recently might be candidates for a reminder email to update their shipping info. Then, once they do, they get added to the list of 'ready to pack' orders. No one who hasn't checked lately or responded to emails gets packed, until they do so.
That way you don't have packed orders waiting around taking up space and delaying everybody else's orders.
Getting the log in data is something your web guy should be able to do, no problem.

I don't think Chances packers work on the weekend so checking the console will do no good. LOL
I had 4 pres and 2 tube mics shipping to Texas for about 77 bucks.
