I have the same concern when shipping abroad from
France. Of course I ship far less than you do Adam, and so far never got
anything lost. But I already had some delays either for shippings to the US or
for items I bought from there. I guess that most of the time, the parcel was
stuck for a while at customs... This is the most possible reason to
me.
Cheers

International shipping isssues
international shipping is 100% risk- insurance stops at the border and once
it is out of our hands (U.S.) they might get it, or they might not. i try to
make my buyers aware of that. i have had fair luck w/ fed-ex, but there is no
legit insurance. once it leaves our borders, i really wonder what the
incentive is to deliver it at all.
i will be gradually switching over to yahoo mail (it has 100 FREE megs of
storage). please cc to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
