Help...international shipping request

[Southern4sure]

I have some home interior listed on ebay. In my auctions, I state shipped in the US only. I just received a request if I could ship to Spain. I have never shipped international before so I have no idea what it will cost. What info do I need to get to get a quote also which carrier service is best? Or should I just say Im sorry but no?

Any suggestions?

You could weigh and box the item and go to the post office and ask them how much it would cost to ship the item to Spain. I always ship internationally via USPS and all you have to do is fill out a customs form.

Go on usps.com - you can calculate international shipping, it will tell you all your options. When I ship international, I usually ship Global Priority. Just remember with most of the international shipping they don't offer delivery confirmation. You could always say no if you don't feel like dealing with it. I've said no before when I just don't have time to go to the post office (I can print dosmestic shipping at home).

Also-if they want to pay via PayPal then you would have no way of shipping with confirmation of delivery so that could open up a whole can of worms.

I ship internationally, if it is a larger item, most people choose Airmail Parcel Post instead of Economy (surface mail) because surface can take months for them to receive it.

Global Priority is another option, but costly, and the items has to fit in the packages at the post office--if--you want to ship it for the flat-rate cost.
