Once before I had posted my Ace for sale and bailed, then I had a buyer back out.
I've come to the conclusion that I need something smaller, so even though the Ace is a killer amp, right now I'd like to have the funds for a smaller amp for recording. Perhaps a new 5:25 express.
Here's my predicament:
I live in Boise, ID. Craigslist doesn't get much action here, and I really don't want to give a music store 20% for selling it for me.
I hear all the nightmares about shipping amps, how they get damaged and all.
The Ace weighs about 73lbs., if I have UPS pack it in a double box set up it's about $45.00, to ship the beast from here to SF in CA, is about $130.00, to New York it's about $150.00, shipping and handling will be around $175.00 to $200.00.
What do you think?
Have you shipped amps this heavy?
If I go single box, it will be much less since they charge by weight and size. But I'm sure it will be around $100 - $120.
Is a single box too big of a risk?
Curious.
