Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

I'm still curious on what'S included in those 150 bucks... 'cause if it's 150 + taxes & fees I'm definately out... can't afford so much

$150 shipped International.

Ouch... Shipping through USPS is typically 20-25 dollars, 30 bucks max... I don't see how SD can arrange to have taxes, etc included, as that depends on the specific country's regulations... Thus, I can only conclude that sadly international shipping is a rip off...

I hope the explanation clears this up.

Explanation on Shipping Overseas....

==============================


The extra $43 is for UPS International "Blue" Shipping. We don't ship by USPS because there's no recourse if the pickup gets lost (and boxes from "Seymour Duncan" can be inviting targets from unscrupulous guitar-playing mail workers around the world). This way, the pickup is insured and trackable -- and gets there faster than USPS.

The extra charge doesn't cover any landing charges on behalf of the customer. It just covers our cost of shipping via UPS International Blue (air) service overseas. The amount of landing charges each overseas customer pays will vary on a country-by-country basis, depending on their duty rates. It's the way our custom shop always ships to overseas customers.

And in case anyone asks, no, we won't make dummy invoices that show $0 value. That's illegal and we just don't do it.

==============================================
 
Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

Scott didn't you mention about opening a paypal account to waive the paypal fees or something? Is that a no-go? Thanks.

Also for the poll there wasn't an option of one of each, just either or. I voted trem-spaced but I'd be in for both.
 
Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

How long of a wait would be expected for a trem-spaced version? Weeks or months?
 
Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

Hmmm, UPS Blue you say... .well, that explains it, in a way that I´m already looking to see if i can scratch together the extra... ;)

I think he was refering to "never" if the numbers don't add up for another tray of 10 for tremspacing

I'm sorry about that.
 
Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

Sorry if this is repetitive but I don't understand what double creme/nickel cover means. Is there a choice between the two or is it combined somehow? Oh wait, do you get a cover to put on if you'd like to?

It'll have double cream bobbins under a nickel cover.
 
Re: Brobucker Details 12/29/05

How easy would it be to take off the cover? I have no guitars that could be used with the cover on but it'd be very good looking with it off. I assume I'd just have to unsolder it and push it out, then wipe out the excess wax from the top and side of the pickup?

Thats pretty much all there is to it. Some find it easier to use a dremel tool to cut the solder. Thats how I do it.
