Yes, Mark, the title is quite disconcerting and unfair to Sam Ash, as their dealership never ceased- we just stopped shipments to them for one day while things were ironed out and for all I know, there wasn't even a shipment for them pending for that day!
To their credit, they responded promptly and decisively.
Sam Ash no longer a RIC dealer.

I have a question.
Say for example, that one of our friends from overseas walked into an authorized dealer here in the US and found a Rickenbacker that they couldn't live without. They purchased the guitar/bass at the shop and then requested the dealer to ship to their home, as he/she were continuing their trip.
Or for that matter, if I were visiting the UK/Europe and found a lefty Ric at an authorized distributor’s shop/dealer that I wanted and requested similar arrangement to have the dealer/distributor to ship the guitar back to the states.
Would the situations this like violate any dealer and/or distributor policy?

There's no restriction on sales made in person- no way to control that really- except that the dealer agreement prohibit obvious commercial sales of this category. (As a practical matter, that pretty much means purchases in quantity or by a company.)
The buyer is, of course, responsible for any taxes and/or duty going back to his country.
There is no restriction on goods coming back into North America as there's no price effectiveness in that scenario.
