Shipping to America?, by leighdrive on Nov 29, 2009 17:47:32 GMT 1, Hi,
Anyone have experience of this? Thinking of posting a BRP big tube and its contents to California. What would be the best way of doing it and what's the most secure way of avoiding any potential issues?
The paypal method of 'holding onto funds' until a positive feedback seems a bit nasty... Buyer has print, paypal has funds.. you have nothing until the buyer is nice and says they're happy.
Any advice/pointers please?
Ta, Leigh

although if your feedback score is good enough i cant see your funds being held in the first place.

Shipping to America?, by yankeebankee on Nov 29, 2009 23:23:50 GMT 1, I've had several prints sent via Royal Mail Airsure and never had a problem - takes about 7 days to the midwest - the tracking number you get from RM can be used on usps.com when it arrives in the US and you can get a signed for option....plus it's 14-17 GBP.
