Tänker att köp en stor sätte med en 18 x 24 baskagge 10 x 14, 16 x 16 och 16 x 18 når jag är i Los Angeles snart. Men har noll erfarenhet med shipping från U.S. till Sweden. Har ni nogle tips jag kan få? Detsamme gälder at shippe från Frankrike
mvh

Hej
Det blir nog 3 boxar, tyvärr.
Det är ofta billigare så för det blir inte så tungt.
Om nte den som skickar vill ta loss allt från trummorna och packa i en box. men då tar han nog betalt för det.
Be dem skicka med USPS Air mail. Inte billigast med lagom snabbt, så du hinner klaga innan de 60 dagarnas garanti går ut från ebay.
Var beredd på 25% moms på beloppet, inkl frakt!
Kan gå vägen ändå, men man ska alltid ha pengarna ifall det händer...
kanske lättare om trummorna skickas med några dagars mellanrum... då kanske inte alla fastnar i momsträsket.
Vad gäller Frankrike så verkar DHL ha en hyggligt billig och snabb frakt.
Och det är momsfritt inom EU.
Lycka till!

Personally I'm focusing more and more on the European market. Especially from Germany the shipping costs are moderate, it is no duty fees, no tax fees and you can send money for free (EU-betalning). I know that the supply of old drum gear are almost endless in the States, but the shipping and tax costs are sky high. Snares and cymbals could be ok, but I have stopped looking at drum kits.

Seeing as one of the replies on this one is in English I'll do English.
This is one I am considering while I am there in LA soon, advantage being I get to see the drums, I get to pack the (so maybe down to one box dependent on weight) and get to do the paperwork (so now screw-ups except those I do myself). I was more concerned about an 18" x 24" bass drum - can't work out if this "oversize" for either USPS or any of the others.
Thanks for the DHL tip for France. Anyone tried the French postal service (doesn't really inspire me with confidence though if it's anything like the rest of their public services)? And yeah the European things is pretty attractive but Camco (which is my current thing until further norice) were pretty much not imported to Europe at all (tiny, tiny amounts to the U.K.) but none of the much prized Oaklawn (and this U.S. thing is a custom-built Oaklawn kit otherwise I wouldn't go through this nonsense.
OK tilbaka till svenska nu (eller dansk en gang imellem).

Yes, the shipping thing is definately a hassle. I have also played with the idea of going over the Atlantic to pick up stuff myself. If my memory is correct I think you are can bring up to 60 kg on the plane. I don't know about size, though. So, it's definately possible to bring back a smaller kit, snares or cymbals. When I visited relatives in Florida two years ago, I was lucky enough to pick upp two NOS Paiste 602 Blue Logo crashes and a wonderful Paiste 2002 Black Logo heavy Hi-hat. I also have friends that have gone over to the US to pick up guitars and even amps. As you said, a definate advantage is that you get the chance to see the items and to pack them properly. Nothing is more boring than recieving damaged items because of sloppy packing! Regards! // Roger
