Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just tried to purchase 4 sets of strings and a guitar strap from the RIC Boutique. $75 purchase price. When I went to finish the purchase, it told me that the shipping cost from RIC to me in Long Island, NY would be $41 via FedEx. $41? Shipping and handling of my RIC guitar from Sweetwater, by comparison, was $48.

I did not complete my order, needless to say.

Is the Boutique website working properly?

yes it sounds like it's working......

amazon has the strings....

Yup. Crazy expensive. That’s why I bought my Ric parts elsewhere last time.

If you only need a few things, they’re usually available from RIC dealers on Reverb (and elsewhere) at a lower shipping cost.

It’s always been pricey shipping from the Boutique, for some reason.
