Would you deal with somebody from Guam?

[optoman]

I have a guy who wants to buy a camera from but wants it shipped to Guam of all places. If I ship it USPS, do I have the same postal rights as if I shipped it to someone in the US?

Is it too big of a risk to ship it?

If I remember correctly, Guam is a US Protectorate, making the laws pretty much the same, and shipping costs the same through USPS.

It would only cost around $12 for a 5 pound package. Insurance was a little more but nothing different than the normal rates. Also, only a 3 day transit time. Not bad for half way around the world.

I've sold a few things to Guam with no problems.. But like anywhere else be careful and use common sense. If it seems fishy don't bother..

If the guy is legit I will sell to him. Thanks for the input.

Keep in mind that Guam is territory of USA and they follow US laws. I was stationed in Agana, Guam for over three years and their laws/regulations are very similar to mainland.

I wouldnt do it. Someone from Guam probably talked to someone who knew someone who thought they saw a terrorist. Be patriotic. Don't deal with that axis of evil.

It shouldn't, and that is why I posted the above absurd response.

If he can get you payment in a garuanteed form (M.O., wire transfer, etc.) then there should be no problem. If the item is expensive $100+, then FedEx it to him, the USPS shipment will eventually be placed into whatever post office Guam has, and who knows what they do w/ packages from the U.S.???

I don't know about fedex but ups wanted $83 to ship it to Guam.

Edit: fedex is $103.
