About Shipping & Rates
Diamond Guitars takes pride in shipping our fine guitars to worldwide customers. We take shipping very serious and ship normally via UPS or DHL. For non-EU buyers, we also provide – when required – the appropriate import papers to insure a smooth journey. Guitars containing e.g. Brazilian Rosewood need official CITES import- and/or export papers for shipping into or outside the EU. We are qualified to verify existing documents and advise on and arrange appropriate documents needed for shipping and obtaining them. Contact us for more information.
