I called the store regarding a five piece used drum set that is there on consignment. The five drums include a 22 inch bass drum, 12,13,16 toms and a 14 inch snare. The website directed me to call for a shipping quote. The person who answered the phone was very helpful and responsive. However, the shipping quote I received was $600.

It made sense immediately. That's the information I needed. I ended up trading my Martin in for a new Gibson right then and there. Why didn't someone at Bananas At Large (especiall
