OMA, I just shipped an 'O' case via UPS due to FedEx being so far from my home. Yes, FedEx was cheaper. But add in the round trip ga$ and it was just about the same. I guess I could set up an account, but I don't ship that often. | ||

Joined: December 2003 Posts: 13984 Location: Upper Left USA | Currently I am holding on to a Thunderbolt, two Viper cases and a promise to ship to AJ due to the major cost of a guitar sized package to Brisbane. I'm hoping that something gives in the next few months. Any OFC'ers planning a trip to Oz, here's a chance to earn some coin - might buy some peanuts and a Bathroom Fare! | ||

I have accounts with all of them, (go figure) and it's free to register, you can print your label and just drop the package off, plus it's cheaper than if you went to the PO or drop off point to purchase the postage. | ||

I never really missed the humidity until I started having to fill the humidifier for all the guitars. I may have to get a bigger one, again. | ||
