Load custom stock. I considered doing this after submitting my order, but Seagull makes you pay before they will even look at your order. The bag is really nice, and I like it alot, but no bag, no matter what you say, is worth 430 dollars. I also think that company's shipping over seas, and the post office should should warn people that that isnt the shipping cost. Its the US shipping cost. After a couple phone calls I found out you have to pay plane fees, taxes(a whopping 25%) and then the Europe post fees. Why cant they just make it so its 1 fee, and then they divvy up the money.
I had a similar issue when someone in the states sent me a guitar. It really sucks and I recommend always using the post office and declaring that there is nothing of value in the box.
