A few different dealers have marked down the Industrialectric Incinerator down to $220 (from $350). I'm not sure if a new version is coming out or not. It's the only product, though, that's discounted.

He's not posting to other countries. And i'm sure, like a lot of others overseas, he'd pluck some random, ridiculously large number out of thin air for postage. I swear some people on reverb don't realise that the post office take your things and send them anywhere you want at no additional effort on their part. It's just as likely to go missing in the US, with their "I buy packages online, but am never home and have nowhere for you to put them" attitude and their super weird "esssentially leaving this in the street is our way of delivering your things safely" postal service. Planning on buying literally anything even remotely bigger than your little post box? You're gonna need a full 24hr home security system then, you fucking idiot!

Sorry, i am ill. Happy new year, haha :picard:

The USPS raised their fees a few years ago and it's very painful for shipping overseas. A small package is a minimum of $26. Some countries can get over $60.! A simple CD in a padded envelope, a killer for those of us who run labels, is $14. Nobody is gonna' pay $14. for a $10. CD. Or hardly anyone. It's crazy.

Yes, sadly international shipping has become a real bear. A pedal from the US to Canada can easily run $30. I bought a MojoMojo for a friend in the UK, but it was going to be over $30 to ship it (pedal was only $49 new), so I ended up selling it and getting him something else. Paying $30 on top of $150 is one thing---$30 on top of $49 just doesn't work.

What I love is the idiots who refuse to ship off the CONUS. Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are domestic destinations. Flat rate shipping is called flat rate for a reason. It costs the same amount, no matter the mileage.

Flat rate and priority cost different. Sometimes you set up shipping costs for priority if the package is light/small enough to save on shipping something like a light pedal or eurorack module. Flat rate adds a few dollars.

Flat rate boxes also got a bit smaller and not all sizes are available to all regions (there is a small cube size that isn't available in California). For a pedal from my region, medium is smallest I can ship which starts at $15+insurance and signature confirmation extra. If I use my own box, in the continental USA, I can usually pack it well and get the price to $9-11 +insurance and signature extra. However, Alaska, Hawaii, and PR are a bit more and require a quote. I'm sure if you ask the seller to use flat rate and agree to pay the potential extra cost, they'll do it. It's just a pain with the way Reverb sets up shipping costs to consider costs for every location. Also, if their usual sales don't fit flat rate containers and they just copy and paste their terms, I could see why it would be a pain to constantly give out shipping quotes and have to do the stupid back and forth dance on Reverb over offers.

The make and offer behavior of reverb also seems to make people instantly want to drop your costs to make it like free shipping.

I'm talking about [Priority] Flat Rate boxes, which for the purpose of pedals won't fluctuate from New York to Anchorage. I've been selling online for 20 years and probably shipped to Alaska or Hawaii 3 times. There are few buyers there for the market, and it's not some inordinately devastating financial hassle either.

Because of the free shipping craze, >90% of sellers should have accepted years ago that they're going to lose money on shipping. Whether you lose $3 or $15 per transaction depends on your scale & structure.

I'm tired of people charging priority mail prices for first class shipping. It's annoying. This is with non gear related stuff mostly. If I buy a tiny $8-$10 item, I shouldn't have to pay $5-10 to have it shipped to me a couple states away, especially when it shows up snail mail. That's not me feeling entitled. I just know for a fact it doesn't cost that damn much :lol:

I'd get it for you and ship it but like someone else mentioned, it really will cost $20-30 for the cheapest method via usps, unfortunately.

This is about as low as you'll ever see for an AD30R. In the past, I've always seen these sell in the $850-1,100 range.
