Would NZ Post take a thing that size? If not, the guy might be shit out of luck. It's like shipping a wardrobe except heavier.
Yeah I sold an amp last year around 40kgs and it was about $100 ish
Its volume (no not the sound) but L x W x H that kills it with a 4x12...
How does the cab's sexuality affect how much it costs to send?
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Said he didn’t want to deposit the money without some guarantee the cab hadn’t been thrashed, I said I only bought it a few months ago so there’s no way to know but all the speakers work and sound fine! If it falls through I might look at a cheap forum deal for a local
Pickup or split it into 2x English Greenbacks and 2 x Vintage 30s as pairs and give the shell away, I’d probably get more?
What a tire kicking muppet. Cancel the sale I reckon.

As it should be. I don't reward expected behaviour so no praise for doing what he committed to do.

Hi team. Anybody have an update on best shipping for larger items?

I sold my ac15 but after my awesome wrapping job it’s 28kgs. That means it’s over the courier limit, and online quotes are coming in at $300!
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
