I used UPS to ship a guitar to Singapore before. I can't remember the exact cost of shipping. Sorry. But it will depend on your item. Expect higher prices if the guitar is bigger (bulkier) and heavier.

Bili ka na lang ng bago doon.

Punta ka or tumawag sa post office malapit sa inyo and ask for EMS shipment.
Sent one of my guitars from the PH to Australia via EMS. Two weeks lang nakuha ko na agad.
Based sa website ng Philpost (https://www.phlpost.gov.ph/rates.php?s=AIR%20PARCEL) around Php 4000 ang 8 kilos (which is an approximate weight of an electric guitar in a hard case shell) to UAE.
EMS is a Chinese owned shipping company that operates worldwide. Majority ng international eBay shipment at overseas store (like Ishibashi Japan) use EMS to ship products abroad instead of Fedex, DHL or UPS (more pricey options).

Zinitsi,
one thing i've learned from sending my stuff from the Philippines --- it pays to call everyone.
yes matrabaho at yung iba mahirap kausap tipong 2 operators will give you different details. i had to talk with one of the managers the company to sort out what's right.
but sometimes you'll find good deals or promos. minsan kung anong gusto mong company, yun pa ang napaka mahal or maarte.
pag barko, may limitations din yan.
may point din si JACO D.
bili ka na lang doon, or buy a better one. do the math. minsan yung difference ay maliit at konting dagdag lang makakabili ka na ng mas magandang amp.
mas enjoy ka pa.
if its a really good sounding amp, yung tipong i compare mo sa 10 na same brand and model at siya pa din best sounding, and you see yourself staying there for a very very long time. pwede din siguro but consider din yung cost ng pagpadala pupunta sa next
destination mo or pauwi ng Pinas.

EMS is reliable. No problems yet. I have a guitar and amp shipped from Manila to Sydney in under 2 weeks and you can track the parcel online.
I have bought a couple of guitars from Ishibashi and they ship EMS exclusively.
I know some forumers here have bought guitars from Ishibashi that was shipped via EMS without any issues.
Actually I just bought a guitar from Japan and is awaiting customs clearance. The price is over $2k so I have to pay custom fees before it can be released :cry: . Try the link below and see that in under 2 days it has arrived Sydney from Japan
