I really want a Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series.
I'd like to know if anyone in the U.S. has ordered a guitar (or whatever) from Thomann that was shipped overseas to the U.S. What's involved with this? Are there extra fees and/or taxes that need to be paid when it arrives in the U.S. ? Or. . . is Thomann's shipping charge covering all that?
I've read some horror stories about various bits of gear bought from Thomann and shipped here to the U.S. that got tied up in customs or some other entry point due to additional fees and or taxes needing to be paid before their item is released for final shipment to the buyer's address. I realize these stories may be few and far between, but they do seem to happen. There's also plenty of happy posters claiming no problems at all, they just order from Thomann and it gets shipped from there to the U.S. and delivered to their front doorstep - like Amazon, only a longer timeframe.

The order times on this one keep changing, from 7-9 weeks then 9-13 weeks, then down to 5-7 weeks so I may never see one anyway.
