Hi Martin & List,
I do know that there are many strange circumstances for shipments to Germany. One method of shipping will eliminate a service (e.g. insurance) offered with another shipping method. The best way to find out is to check: http://www.usps.com
It's usually pretty accurate giving quotes, but it depends on the postal clerks training qualifications also. Many times I get different answers from different people. This website might be very helpful for other list members outside the U.S. Just one of the many things a meteorite collector must consider.
I hope it turns out well!
Take care,
Mark

Thanks for the good opportunity!
A member of this list, from which I took a specimen from ebay and for whom perhaps it could be advantageous, if he would let the specimen get "lost" in mail, told me, after I asked him to send it fully insured and registered at my costs,
that a insured and registered parcel is not possible from USA to Germany.
Could please someone gave a short note here, that it IS possible without any problems? For him to read only.
Many thanks! Martin
(yes Bob and Dave as you suppose, it's him.....)

For most items I buy, I never get insurance or confirmation. I'm
