Overseas Shipping Of Amplifier; Anything Special?

Ive shipped to Italy many times. For anything over 44 pounds Bax is the way to go. You will need to create an invoice for customs, and fill out their overseas shipping form. They will basically walk it thru customs and deliver the package to their office in Rome. As for getting paid there are many options, best being western union money transfer, worse is you take a 4.9 percent hit with paypal and no piece of mind about security. All overseas transactions are considered unverified with no protection from paypal servives. Best of luck

Be sure to build or buy 1/2" or 3/4" crate,rein-forced with 1x1 minimum or 2x4 in the corners,good luck,Bob

Check out https://www.escrow.com/index.asp for payment. In my opinion it's the safest way for seller and payer for overseas transaction. Best of luck. Werner

Not sure you want to take advice from me, as I myself am overseas... But here is how I would do it.
Go to your bank - open up an account for transfer purpose only and let the person in Italy transfer the money to that account. I know giving out an account number is a BIG thing in the US, but in Europe it is a normal thing an nobody can use it for anything.
This will give you a trace route for the seller if something goes wrong, and the buyer will feel safe, as he/she can track you as well.
Its fast (about 3-4 working days if you have one of the bigger banks) just as safe as escrow and paypal and the cost is very low.
If you feel unsure, then I recommend you talk to your bank about how to do it.
Remember the person who will be sending you money, are not getting an account number, but a SWIFT/IBAN (Iban is International banking something..) number, and that can only be used for transfers..

After all way pay for a service you already have..

Best of luck..
