Anyone got any ideas? I've been selling some bits on eBay, and they are quite popular - however, I'm having trouble sending stuff to the US.
The problem is that the goods are worth between $15-20, and currently Royal Mail/USPS are managing rather a poor batting average at getting them to where they are supposed to go.
I can't send them registered, because the US doesn't accepted registered mail. My profit margin takes a significant hit, if I have to send another consignment. UPS want about $25, which is a bit steep. I've sent some 'recorded - signed for' but they don't always get a signature at the far end, they just get dropped in the mail box, and I can only claim compensation if it is lost on the UK side.
Any ideas for any alternatives?
