Darn it, spent 20 minutes addressing shipping costs mentioned in this thread, to and from Alaska and best deals for the customer from us in that regard, and I don';t see it here . Did anyone see it? can you send to me so I don't have to peck it out again? lol

sometimes you think you submitted but someone posted while you were typing. If you don't notice, you forget to re-submit. Try hitting the back button to see if you get to the window where you were typing it.

AWESOME BEAR, Thanks for the suggestion... Here it is.

Regarding shipping to and from Alaska[ and Hawaii]. It is expensive. Thank someone for USPS! The most economically friendly for the customer who buys less than a pallet, is the Large Priority Gameboard flat rate box[FRB]. We use it a lot, And we have our new store trained to pack flat rate boxes with products under 24" long. 6 bdft of bracewood will fit in the FRB. 8 flat top acoustic will fit. 2 archtop guitar will fit, 3 carved top Violin/mandolin/ mandola tops will fit and maybe 3 octave too. or a combo of flat tops and archtops or bracewood. One can play with the shopping cart to find sweet combinations of quantity of products. Of coarse this is only available to domestic US customers. 12 packs won't work, because the dim. of that package/bundle exceeds the cubic volume of the FRB. But one could order 12 individual of the same product, instead of the 12 pack, and get the qty 12 discount and get them packed into the FRB. This would actually be a good topic/thread to post for everyone with interest doing biz with us.. We like to watch out for customers interest... treat others as we wish to be treated. Ya.

If you offered an 8 (top) pack discount it might be less confusing and attract more business. Some people might only buy 8 tops, but others might buy 16.
I think you were saying in the last post that you will sell 8 tops at the 12 top price (per top), but I'm not sure if that is what you implied. I'm not even sure if what I wrote is understandable.

I'm gonna start a new thread for this subject of shipping
