Mother's day weekend bump?

David Newton · May 10, 2014

Sorry, no.
It isn't that I wouldn't love to ship 'em, it is just a pile of government red tape to do it legally, and I try to stay legal.

Is it your country or our country?

Sorry, I don't have a sound file.
I'm a really good uke maker, but I'm embarrassed at how poorly I play.
So I spend my time building instead of playing.

The problem I have with exporting is US law.

What is it about your uke that is a problem with shipping to Australia? Just curious.

Thanks for the info. I don't use those materials for ukes but have shipped many ukes over seas and have NEVER had a boxed open for any reason during shipping.

I don't think my "for sale" thread is the proper place to discuss the US regulations that I feel are restricting the honest pursuit of my profession.
