lovin gitty thanks for Great turn around time for the rural builder
Sorry Hank, it's getting harder and harder to get to every question in all of the places they appear. If you register on our site and add items to your shopping cart, then when you view the basket it will show you the calculated shipping costs. I can tell you that getting a 36" long piece of wood to Europe is not cheap, as it has to go priority mail due to the length.
So no answer to my question, only to the UK complaint?
Unfortunately the UK has some of the lowest limits on import values. 18 pounds (about $25USD), plus they get you for that handling charge. For comparison, Australia allows up to $1000USD without charging any import duties.
A warning for UK customers - I am still awaiting a couple of kits I ordered which have been held up by Royal Mail. They first of all imposed a £8 ($12.71) handling charge as there was some import duty($7.51) to pay on a $38 order. I have paid this online and still await delivery. My fault was I ordered two kits at $19 each. Had I ordered each kit seperately I would have avoided import duty (below $25) and saved considerably.
Hi,
I bought some parts through eBay from CBGitty, but necks don't seem to be included, although they are on this site. How much would it cost to ship a neck to The Netherlands?
Thanx, Hanx
Here is the link for the bevel files, by the way: https://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/small-fret-bevel-file-4-3-4-inch.html
After a LONG hiatus, fret beveling files are once again available from C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply! We stopped making these a couple of years ago due to time constraints, but now we have the resources to do them again!
Available in short 4.75" and longer 7.75" sizes, for smaller and larger instruments.
Mike, builders use them both ways. Some install them square like in a standard electric, others angle them so that the 6 poles are under all 3 strings... it's up to you, find what works best for you!
