LamarTinson

I need to mail a record to Italy. I've never shipped anything overseas before. It's an ebay item so I wanna avoid any international buyer/seller conflicts.usps.com isn't all that helpful.What shipping method is best? Thanks. Peace out.

Take it to the PO and find out what it costs.
Seriously, not busting on you - you do it once and then
you know. That's what I did.

LamarTinson

Yeah I figured that much, but the PO isn't open right now. Or tomorrow. And I have time now to take care of these things.

So if anybody knows for sure about shipping records to Italy from the good ol' US of A it would be appreciated.

Basically how much should I charge buyer for shipping? We're looking "ballpark figure" here...

be aware that there is no tracking number available for shipping to Italy, so it's VERY easy to get burned on fake paypal chargebacks when shipping to Italy. Basically, they can get the record and then claim they didn't get it, which you have no way to prove, and then paypal will take the money out of your account.

My advice, especially if he paid by Paypal is to make sure you can either track the package or get "Delivery Confirmation". Make sure you pack it as if it was going to be used as a Frisbee at a Razor Blade factory....and make sure the folks at the PO put a few of those stickers with that Italian word "Fragile" on it.

Wow....didn't realize there was no way to track it to Italy...my mistake.

But I will see this:


before I even see our lovely PO lady.


I was hoping for a solid answer NOW, but maybe that isn't possible. Again, I've never shipped overseas before.

Thanks anyway fellas.

you can send it registered which is traceable. unfortunatly that costs 7.50. and you also have to get some of that brown tape that you have to wet to glue onto the package. and everything has to be written on the package, no labels or anything. i think most postal supplies places have that brown tape.

Dudes you only need proof of shipment for paypal disputes... forget the registered mess. Proof of ship is $.90. Get it stamped with the to & from address on it, with a sticker with the date & PO on it, done deal. Now required for all my overseas biz with paypal.

I just won a 45 on ebay and the seller is asking $20 for shipping and $2.45 additional for insurance. From US to europe. Can this be true or is he overcharging?

Whooaa!!! It's usually about $10-12 for one 12", usually for a 7" I pay around $6-7 for shipping.The insurance sounds on point though...
