Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Also, I am pissed. My local USPS wont take a package the size of a bass for international shipment. Cheapest I can find is $540 through FedEx, which is significantly higher than the $200 I thought USPS would do it for. Now I have to wait for the buyer to decide if he wants to cover additional shipping, or if I am eating PayPal fees and refunding his money.
 
Any of you gamers played Farcry 3? Finally getting fed up with Fallout 3 and NV glitching out on me and saw Farcry 3 on sale for dirt cheap last night. I dug the second one despite its flaws, 3 seems to be head and shoulders above that one - at least according to reviews.
Playing Borderlands 2 right now, also log into Diablo 3 once in a while. I've got the new Thief installed, but just played the intro.

Wow, $540?!?! Is this going to Antarctica?

I could be wrong, but I remember the last time I had to give a refund on a PayPal transaction, they refund the fees to you as well. So long as you process it as a refund (which can take up to a week to clear sometimes) and don't just send the identical amount back.

It's the fuging import fees likely. We just sent a bunch of product to Chile in a rush and import fees were just under half the cost of the product. But they had to have it now since local distributor failed to deliver as was the plan for weeks.

have you looked into FedEx? I've had some pretty good service from them and their prices were reasonable.
