Wanting to flick one of my guitars as the market pays better in europe than what i would get here,outside of the madness i just read on the nz post site-what are some other options?i can only think of dhl which would be mental as well......I'm used to bringing stuff in,not shipping it out!

p.s-guitar is nothing anyone here would want,before you ask.

Unfortunately sending it through EMS via NZpost would be the best way. DHL/Fedex etc would be more expensive.

Not all of us on here are into grandad guitars.

Although if "want" also includes "... it enough to buy it", then maybe you have a point.

NZ Post is probably going to be your most cost effective solution.

Hey, hey....I resemble that comment!

I sent a guitar to Japan recently by NZ Post. Was good price, and reasonably fast.

A quick quote through the NZ post website said $435...i doubt anyone would wanna stump for that. Doesn't help the case is the same size as a garden shed.
