Subject: Re: SV: [Simmons Drums] juicy sds-v w. hihat module on Ebay

From: "Matt" <sds5@...>
Date: 2008-01-10

Hi there Darren,

It has varied a bit with shipping, the US is cheaper than the UK,
the US don't do surface mail anymore which is strange but as an
example I got 4 toms pads and 4 tom arms sent this week from NY, it
ended up costing about AU$120 for shipping and thats for 5 working
days.

The most I've ever paid was US$210 and that was for a full SDS1000
kit including the brain, leads and stands.

Hope that helps mate.

Matt.
