Anyone shipped things over seas

Did everything go well?

How were import costs done?

Thanks!

I've shipped twice with no problems. I used USPS International Priority Service and I've had no problems. You can purchase postage online at usps.com for a discount (also through paypal) and also fill out all your forms as well. Makes it really easy.

Cost is high, but buyer should take care of those. I've been told by buyers that USPS is the cheapest for them and other carriers (UPS & FedEx) carry high import duties.

I would hesitate to ship international again myself.

I send a package to my GF's parents who live in Indonesia on christmas last year and plan to send packaged on their birthdays as well I sent them the new ipod shuffles (2 of them) and the import costs was nearly a $100! they had to pay it because I was stupid and didn't think when I dropped it off, is there a way to pay those import costs like get billed to me on my CC or online once it's figured?

Id ask the USPS people but their closed when I posted, my GF's dad birthday is coming up soon which is why I'm asking.

Thanks for the reply!
