Wal Bass Club.

Yes indeed. And he does a great job of packing as well. He wraps the case in protective foam wrap then void fills the area around the case. The box walls are reinforced inside with this custom cut material the looks like insulated Sheetrock. He also uses an airmail shipping method that moves extremely quickly. He shipped from Britain on a Monday and if not for a mechanical issue on the ups side it would've been delivered on Wednesday. Given the size, weight, packaging materials and expedited shipping I'm actually going to say it's worth what he charges.

Ah ok. Just wanted to make sure, I heard that's what he used before so just checking to be current.

Yes, when I got my black Mk III it was actually brought back to Wal to get packaged, so I would have to concur that's it is packaged nicely!
 
Then Customs/taxes is also going to be different depending on which State you live in, as another TBer found out he got charged a use tax by the State of MA in addition to the customs fee when delivered.
Here in WA, it's only a customs fee.

:spit: taxachusetts

I've actually asked other TB'ers from MA that got new builds and none of them got a bill from the State. Guess I was the lucky one when I got mine from thebassgallery and they shipped it FedEx. :(

Zulu congratulations, I'd be at the end of my driveway waiting for the delivery.

I'm on vacation today hanging around the house anyways. Left the garage door open so the dude can see I'm home in case he tries to just leave a note on my mailbox.
Spent a bunch of time outside with the dog checking the street for the truck.
Back inside to prep some Halloween stuff for the kids.
