How do I get my amp to Quebec?
| Message Board > General Chitchat > How do I get my amp to Quebec? |
| Tink User Info... | I have some guitars and an extremely heavy 40 watt Traynor amp that live happily here at my home, but I'm moving house to Montreal at the end of April. It is indeed logical to sell the stuff and buy new gear when I get there, but I'm a sentimenal child and I want to keep them. I have no idea how to get them there. I know someone who found a pallet once, but it's uncommon to find that available privately. How do I get send my amp across the country? Who can I trust to gently handle my guitars, because not all of them are coming on my person. Or how can I package them up so that my senior citizen parents can ship them and nothing gets screwed up? Help me help me help me.. oh, experienced ones. une cent mercis en avance - Tue, 18 Mar 2008 9:35pm Edited: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 9:35pm | ||
| devin User Info... | ship greyhound and insure insure insure the shit out of it. make sure it's all covered in fragile stickers, and throw some clothes into the case so it doesn't move. or use tiger courier if they're out here. i had 70lbs of parts sent from saskatchewan to calgary for $70 a couple years ago. - Thu, 20 Mar 2008 8:26am | ||
| CM User Info... | Hey Tink, I look at the time of your post and think, "Hmm, where SHOULD you have been at 9:30 on Tuesday morning...?" In any event, just leave your gear here and pick up some of the Halos' stolen shit when you get to Montreal. - Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:52pm | ||
| Tink User Info... | PM! It was PM! It's like that Curb Your Enthusiasm with the unwritten law of the drycleaners... sometimes you get stuff, sometimes your stuff ends up with somebody else.. - Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:03pm Edited: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:04pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Following a period of civil wars and unrest in England known as The Anarchy (1135–1154), the Anglo-Norman dynasty was succeeded by the Angevin Kings. At the height of power the Angevins controlled Normandy and England, along with Maine, Anjou, Touraine, Poitou, Gascony, Saintonge, and Aquitaine. Such assemblage of lands is sometimes known as the Angevin Empire. The King of England directly ruled more French territory than the King of France himself. This situation – where the Angevin kings owed vassalage to a ruler who was de facto much weaker – was a cause of continual conflict. The French resolved the situation somewhat in three decisive wars: the conquest of Normandy (1214), the Saintonge War (1242) and finally the War of Saint-Sardos (1324), thus reducing England's hold on the continent to a few small provinces in Gascony and the complete loss of the crown jewel of Normandy. By the early 14th century, many in the English aristocracy could still remember a time when their grandparents and great-grandparents had control over wealthy continental regions, such as Normandy, which they also considered their ancestral homeland, and were motivated to regain possession of these territories. French remained the official language of England until the second half of the 14th century. - Mon, 24 Mar 2008 2:23am | ||

| XJAyX User Info... | Invest in some good flight cases and take them with you on the flight. the excess baggage fees will be close to the price for shipping and you have no delay. Either way spend the money on the cases, a $300 amp case is worth it to know your $X000 amp will make it there safe. - Thu, 3 Apr 2008 1:32pm | ||
| elle Scorcho User Info... | TC - check their myspace. and check yoself! "midriff" (one word) Jay- I assume these amp cases can be found at L&M? My problem is I am packing my shit up into storage, then flying to Paris. Four months after that, I go directly to Montreal, and my gear doesn't need to come with me to Europe. I'm looking for a ground means to get them from Victoria to Montreal that is simple enough for my family not to screw it up. The majority of my control is in how I prepare the stuff for travel. So hard cases, insurance, and fragile stickers it is.. Would it be strange to pad my guitars in their cases just to be safe? And what's the cheapest ground shipping service? - Fri, 4 Apr 2008 2:22pm | ||
| evilkleg User Info... | Buy a POD, stick it in your backpack- problem solved. Unless you just HAVE to have the tone from your current amp. Extra padding in your guitar case won't hurt. - Fri, 4 Apr 2008 6:04pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Checked. I still don't get it? Is belly button one word also? - Sat, 5 Apr 2008 1:39am | ||
