Hi all, I'm having trouble trying to find shipping rates to Japan where I can input the size of my packages and get an accurate quote to give to my customer. Anybody shipped there before and have any advice? I have found the postal service works better than UPS or the others when shipping to the UK, but I'm stuck with Japan. Otherwise I'll wait until Monday to speak to a human at the various shipping agencies. While I'm on the subject, do any of you hold export licenses for shipping overseas? I wasn't sure what the criteria was for needing such a license, and don't want to get myself into the middle of some mess. Thanks! Craig CT Holden Luthiery and Supplies |

Craig the link below should work. Click on international postage and then select Japan as the country. I have shipped several orders there with no problem. http://www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm?from= home&page=0061calculatepostage |

You can ship through the Post office. usps.com . Ad 15% to the quote they give you as they are often light. You don't need a lisence yet. john |

I would go with USPS too. 1 guitar and case should ship for around $120-$150 for EMS speedpost with tracking! |

USPS insurance claims are a NIGHTMARE to collect on. I had to threaten legal litigation on both acounts and it took 9 months + to collect on each. |
