Shipping Info

I reside in the Black Hills of Wyoming, in the upper right hand corner of the state. I'm quite close to South Dakota, as well as Montana...zip code 82729. 

When ready to ship, contact me and I will send you the complete shipping address. Please pack the amp well, as I will use the same box and packing to return it to you, provided that it meets FedEx's packing standards. If not, I can have my shipper repack the amp...15.00 for smallbox heads (JTM45, 1987X), and 19.00 for large box heads (1959SLP, 2203, 2204, 2210).


A great way to pack an amp is to simply wrap it in bubblewrap, then place it in the box. Make sure the bubblewrap is at least 3-4" thick all around the amp...in other words, make it into a big pillow. The thicker, the better. Many of the newer reissues seem to have more fragile head boxes, especially on the bottom fingerjoints. Having it wrapped this way will enable it to withstand a shock without any damage. The ends of the amp are where it's most important to use adequate packing. 


I have excellent luck using Fed Ex, Fed Ex Ground, as well as USPS. I do not recommend using UPS.


Should something happen, FedEx will only pay the insured amount IF the amp was packed correctly. You may want to remove the tubes and wrap them in bubble wrap, then place them inside the rear of the amp so they don't get jarred in shipping and go bad. As long as there is at least 3-4" of decent bubblewrap between the amp and the outside world, your amp should arrive here in fine condition.


Along with your return address, I also will need your phone number, FedEx requires it from me to ship it back to you. I use FedEx Ground to return it to you, unless you want to pay for faster service. You can visit the site http://www.fedex.com to figure shipping costs and find out about packing requirements so that if it is lost or damaged, FedEx will cover the loss. I do need to be paid before returning the amp to you. You can send a money order, use a bank transfer (I have an account set up for this) or pay me through my PayPal account (add 2.9%), just email me for my PayPal ID.  Many people simply send a money order with the amp to cover the cost of the work and shipping. If you overpay the shipping, I will send you the difference back.
