Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post

How do you do ground shipping to Australia? The main reason I don't ship my frames outside of the lower 48 states of the U.S. is that there is no ground shipping and air shipping is astromical.   Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: JR To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post Dale,   Wow... you must have been pricing next-day delivery or something... I know that regular ground shipping with UPS or DHL doesn't cost anywhere near that much.   -- JR ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Dilts To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 13:44 Subject: Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post I just priced shipping a couple banners in 60” boxes to go to Australia and UK via Fedex/UPS/DHL all came back $140 - $160 for 10 pounds.   USPS will not deliver due to length constraints.       From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JR Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 12:31 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post   Interesting possibility... all the more reason to use a delivery service like FedEx, UPS or DHL for a large tube (or a pricey poster), particulary which shipping from overseas. Those services will tell you at the counter if a package is "too big" and they have much more liberal package-size regulations. Certainly a 44" inch-long tube shouldn't give them any problems.   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: P Molitor To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 9:36 Subject: Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post   Hi Walter,   I think the problem may have been the 40x60".  I recently [allegedly] bought a 40x60" from the UK and the seller tried sending it twice through the Royal Mail and it got returned to them after weeks each time with no explanation.  It turns out the RM wouldn't take packages that large although apparently the "rejection" only happens further on down the line than the package counter so nobody ever tells you it's too big.   Well, that's the story I finally put together anyway.  Happily the seller was believable and gladly refunded my money once I decided somebody was trying to tell me something about that ("Day of the Triffids") poster...   It may yet show up back at the seller's place but I doubt it will ever show up for you.   --Peter Walter Reuben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Yup, that is right. My problems with the London seller penitentman83 started when a rolled 40 x 60 for Let's Get Lost never got here.  He insisted that he had already thrown out the paperwork for insurance on the shipment and offered me two smaller posters as replacements, if I paid him an extra 12 pounds for shipping. I agreed, and I WILL NEVER again agree to such a thing. The second shipment never arrived, and the follow up to yesterday's email is that he has told me that it is my problem if I cannot get an insurance refund on a parcel shipped from the U.K. because he "does not like my attitude." By now, enough time has elapsed that I cannot leave feedback at all nor can I go to PayPal for a refund. It is not a ton of money and I will live but, if you buy from this guy, you are definitely rolling the dice.  From now on, with no exceptions, if a package is not here in 27 days, I will also file a complaint with ebay. JR is right---that is really the only recourse.
