Inside the MS462C

[StephK87]

I experienced the same thing back then. Tried to send a new 661 to Brad in 2014. DHL and customs are extremely small with such things. Could explode because gasoline was in it before. Nonsense......

I had ferris written by PN at that time, when he tried to send the 462 to MMWS, say'd to him DHL/Custom can be a big problem in germany...unfortunately I was right

Hmmm...shipped in original boxes I assume?

That’s Always The Wrong Way.

I only write „used chainsaw“.

Maybe the customs were not the Problem,
DHL returned it because it is a „dangerous good“ and they don’t fligh with that.

USPS Air Mail From Malaysia is pretty Reliable these days.

I’m sure they’d do it from Germany.

Heath as I understand it DHL is Germany's national postal service like USPS or Canada Post. Only their management saw the writing on the wall and turned themselves in to a worldwide parcel service as that is where the money not in domestic letter delivery.

I think someone should try from Sweden. I would do it but I spent my 462 $$ on a 661...

I believe USPS will ship from Germany.

Yes, DHL is Bureaucracy at its finest.

You should try being required to use DHL to send your passport to the land of Hammers & Sickles for a new VISA: it’s an experience I wish on No one.

How does USPS ship from a foreign land? Don't they just have reciprocal agreements with other national postal agencies? ie here I send via Canada Post and there it gets delivered by USPS .

The best bet at this point is to wait till the 462 is released here in North America.

 

[MustangMike]

Hopefully the 462 and 500 i will be here soon!!!

But I'm not holding my breath!

This is an honest question with no malicious intent.

What happens if someone sends $1400, you buy the saw, then you can't get it to them? At that point, they're out $1400 with no saw. Can you return the saw?

I was wondering the same thing. Lol

Personally, I'd refund their money and eat it. What other option would be acceptable?

They would obviously be getting their money back.

 

[Dub11]

Just label the box "boat anchor" they probably wouldn't even blink at it.

 

[RI Chevy]

That's mean!

That's mean!

You gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes.

Another option is not to sell across an ocean no matter how well meaning your intentions are. Although I am confidant any saw I send to someone outside of Sweden would arrive at the destination border without problems, I cannot garauntee anything. I can't afford and don't need the headache of having to deal with something unforseen happening so 462's from me are NLA

Terrible!!!! That's a lot of money. I usually pay around 45-70 euros sending complete saws from greece to northern europe

I think you are reading me wrong. I didn't say how much money for anything. I spent the money I had put aside for a 462 on a 661 that was too good a deal to pass up.

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

I had the chance to use a 462 for a few tanks today.

Really impressed, strong, light speed throttle response, great power to weight ratio...

But it's still a Stihl, and my ported 562 feels still better in my hands, an produces less vibrations.

This 462 really run like a good ported saw, pretty amazing. Can't wait to try her big sister MS 500i!
