Did a search and nothing came up...

I'm at work at the moment and trying to arrange shipping an 'O' to Melbourne.

Shipping an '05ES (like a contour Legend) in a 9158 case packed in a cardboard carton. Anybody know the rough shipping weight?

Sometimes 24 pounds.

Depends on what you use for padding.

A quick check shows that my Sweet T in a 9158 case weighs 15 pounds....
Add the box and stuffing.

Location: Sunshine State, Australia		Thanks boys. 22lb = 10kgs (in proper weight)

It's a trapezoid guitar carton, so it'll be slightly lighter than an Ovation shipping carton and I'm not putting much extra packing in so I'll go with 10kgs.

Thanks again - off to the couriers.

Bummer.  I was hoping someone would covert it into Stones.

Location: Sunshine State, Australia		Too true. The dimensional weight was 37kg. actual weight was 9kg.
A bit if creative carton renovating knocked the price down from $100 to $50.

Ironically, if I filled the damn carton full of stones it would have cost the same to ship. As it is the carton's primary contents is AIR!
