What is the best (cheapest reputable) way to ship a mouthpiece to the UK? Getting estimates online, it seems the best price is $173.00. Does that sound right? I've never shipped across the pond before. Can anyone give any guidance? _________________ Don Harris

Sounds right. Don't forget you have to pay taxes and customs on top of regular shipping&packing charge. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Thanks. Are the taxes and customs included in the shipping price or do I have to check on that separately. _________________ Don Harris

'm assuming you are asking about a U.S. to UK shipment.
If you own the mouthpiece, to the best of my knowledge, there is no sales tax.
Customs Tax will be assessed at the point of entry into the UK and is a UK Custom Tax, not American. Your safest bet is to be very clear to the buyer that you will not be responsible for UK Customs.
If I read everything correctly, then you would have to pay packing and shipping but that's it. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird
