rjmajik Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I pulled the trigger on this one today ! Owner is not a member of HOC but is a member of My Les Paul's Forum and The Gear Page. I mentioned shipping insurance and he mentioned he has shipped many guitars over the years and has only had one problem. He mentioned that even with insurance he could not get the carrier to pay for damages. Said they only seem to pay out if the package is totally lost. Not sure if this is just international shipping experience or not. What have you all experienced?
High Flying Bird Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I have never had trouble shipping within the lower 48 but it is just a matter of luck to a degree. Out of all the guitars and camera gear I have only had one package lost and B&H Photo sent another right away. Kinda' the same kind of luck I had this afternoon. I pulled out of a parking space at the grocery at the same time the guy behind me did. We didn't wreck but the guy acted pissed. I told him not to get mad but he happy about our good fortune. Accidents happen. Good looking guitar by the way.

skydog52 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I've been watching that one. Congratulations on a nice one! That's a nice model.
skydog Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I've only had one guitar arrive damaged; an early model Heritage H-140 that arrived with a broken headstock. I don't know how it all played out as the seller has to file the claim as he is the shipper's client. I was refunded almost immediately by the seller.
schundog Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 H-155s are fantastic. Congratulations on that beauty!
chico Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 congrats brother! a great all around guitar. absolutely love mine.
Guest HRB853370 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I am hoping a certain somebody here on the forum pulls the trigger on my 155 soon!!!

mark555 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 One to have for sure, great looking guitar - I wish they were about over here in the Uk and were appearing on the used market.

Just an update The guitar was mailed from Italy on Monday and I received it in the Pacific Northwest on Wed ! Seemed to have survived the shipping process in great shape
PunkKitty Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 That's fast! I'm glad it arrived safely. That is such a beautiful guitar.
DetroitBlues Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 That is good news! Now play her in good health!
DavesNotHere Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 That is a beauty. I love the top. I bet it sounds fantastic!
TalismanRich Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I worry about shipping. Coming from Italy to Portland would have been major stress. Glad it came through intact. Its a great looking guitar.
