Default My Emerald Is Being Shipped This Week

Just got the call from Kevin that my Emerald X20 QM-Green with St. Patrick's Day Inlay is finished and being shipped this week. Should be in this week's shipping video that will come out Friday. So excited! I just hope I don't get stuck with the custom's tax that seems to be hitting some customers.

WOW! You'll probably get it just in time for the 4th of July. The wait IS the hard part.

I hope so too. In my case it was a "taxes and brokerage fee" added by UPS, not something levied from US Customs. It took about ten weeks of email persistence, but UPS finally refunded the $79 fee back to me. It helped to note that over a dozen other recent US shipments had not been charged, just mine. I conclude that someone in a cubicle somewhere just checked the wrong box on a screen.....

Best of luck on your shipment and enjoy the new guitar! I will watch the shipping video once it is posted.

Congrats on the soon-to-be-arriving new guitar! We'll look forward to the NGD post, with photos, of course.
