International Help

[mike_houghton]

Is there anyway to track a package I shipped internationally? I need to know because I sent a package well over a month ago and they still have receieved it yet. I have shipped and am still shipping packages out of the country, but feel I may have to change my stance on that if this is a regular occurance. I dont want anyone to think I cheated them, but at the same time I know I sent the package.

It just happens sometimes. I personally have shipped about 250 package overseas, and only lost 3.

Two to Canada, and one to Germany.

Other than that, I have had great success in shipping overseas. Granted, a few of them took awhile to get there, but they almost always arrive. There are a few countries high on the mail fraud list, so I dont send to them. Apparently these countries have roughly a 40% failure to recieve rate. That is too high for me to send to those countries.

Other than that, I have sent (on HCRealms alone) to Canada, Brazil, Sweden, Norway, Finland, UK, and Germany without a hitch.

To the original question.

The only way to ship with tracking is Global Express Mail. Starts around $35.00 per package. I have sent one to Mexico that cost me over $100.00.

It is WHOA! expensive to do, and if you plan on doing that, then maybe you should knock out international trading!:)

Good luck, and hopefully it shows up soon.

Hey Mike: If you don't send Airmail, it takes about a month to Canada.

Can Global Express Mail track packages?

UPS International will help you track items. FYI--it cost something like 115.00 to UPS ONE Heroclix fig to France. (Ripoff)

I'll go international for some people, but not on eBay, unless they want to pay that much or use a money order. I know dudes who have been ripped off by someone saying they didn't get anything, and a customs form is not a valid proof that you sent it, because it can't prove they received it. Totroncollector is an awesome trader from Canada awesome communication on their part, and I've never had a prob with any of the other's I've dealt with.

I guess it's who you're dealing with and what you're swapping.
