I got my final invoice from Andreas Rogge on Monday 11 August 2008.
I have ordered C chanter, D fullset without chanter and bellows. Ready in October 2008 I was told.
He quoted 250.00 Euro for DHL shipping which I thought was a bit expensive.
I emailed him for a cheaper shipping service which he gave as 50.00 Euro with 500.00 Euro insured.
The last email I got from Rogge’s whorkshop Jen’s said “I’d suggest you organize the transport from your end.”
If I organize the shipping myself from Germany to Belfast what I need is the Weight (kg), Dimensions LxWxH (cm) of the parcel which also would cover the full price of the pipes to be insured.
Hi Fergus , In essence you are basically shipping a fullset from Germany. I’m guessing the contents of your package costs considerably more than 500 euros. Although 250 euros sounds very expensive , you know everything will be packaged , insured and if , god forbid anything goes wrong , then you know you are covered. As another possibility , it could be cheaper flying to Berlin and picking them up and transporting them as hand luggage ? Cheers Mei
Shipping prices have gone very high recently. 250.00 euro to ship and insure a full set sounds fairly “normal” for the current time. But I really wouldn’t trust a full set to any courier, these days - I’d recommend pickup, too.
