Well, if you can afford to buy yourself 6 Degs AND a "Ziggy Special", I expect you can well afford to pay exorbitant shipping costs. Like the other guy said - shipping for a sop horn should not cost $35 bucks no matter what it's shipped in. My horn came double boxed and loaded with foam peanuts, INSIDE the original case, for less than half that. Shipping places are notorious for overcharging on packing.
Not to argue, but stating facts. Why get a good deal on a horn and blow it up with ridiculous shipping? Deal buster #1.
