it depends in what country you are shipping it from and wether you want to ship it with regular mail or an express service,usually post service has prices on their web pages,just do some research!

i don"t know if its the same when you ships from usa to europe, but it'll maybe give an idea : when i ordered my es9, the shipping costs to europe (france) were in the 350 usd range. but i got almost the same costs in customs vat after that....

Yup - I was quoted US$260 to get a bass from Germany to New Zealand, and indeed would have been stung at least that again on import duty. Ended up getting one locally instead, not becuase of cost, but I wanted it straight away!
