Sending Euros from GB to Germany

MichaelStanton

Hi Guys, So I am buying a new high-end Guitar from a independent luthier in Germany and I happen to have a wad of Euros in cash which I would like to use to pay for the guitar (which I've had since the £ to € exchange rate was much better than it is now!). Is there a way I can just send these Euros without changing them into £ then back into €?

Advice much appreciated!

Thanks, Mike

Would you really trust international post with cash?

And would you really trust international post with a musical instrument?

Two options: have a word with a reputable courier (DHL?) and see if they can help. Otherwise, time to earn a few airmiles (last time I went to Germany it was 2 pounds to get there and two euro to come back, which is less than a courier would cost).

Yes, fly over with the cash, then back with the guitar (in a sturdy case). Make a leisure trip of it, catch a concert or something, meet the luthier (guitar maker?). He may even give you a bit of discount to offset the cost of going over to put the cash in his hand. If you need cheap flight suggestions let us know where you are, the location in Germany and when you might be free to go.

I've learned a new word - Wikipedia:

A luthier (/ˈluːtiər/!loo-ti-ər)[1] is someone who builds or repairs string instruments generally consisting of a neck and a sound box.
