Thread Name: Bought anything from USA?
Subject: RE: Bought anything from USA?
As a part-time instrument repairer, I've bought a stack of pickups and other bits and pieces from Shoreline Music in San Diego, California. A couple of times I was charged duty and a couple of times not. Their prices were so good that, even with the duty, the cost was far less than in Europe (and in one or two cases, e.g. PUTW pickups, I don't think the products were yet available this side). Speed and service (to Belgium) were excellent on all occasions.
