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.

It's good to see things got worked out quickly!
Nice job on the layout (and weathering), Todd!

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?

FAO Mr. Peter McCormack.
Is it at all possible to edit the title of this thread?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

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.
