Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: tone panel deal of the moment
I'm not sure I understand what the problem shipping overseas is. I've done a fair amount of eBay trading myself, and it's never been more than paying the postage for whatever the destination is, and a single page form declaring what the item is, and it's value. And many times, I haven't even been required to fill out a declaration form. I do virtually all my shipping via the internet, with pick up from my front porch. Are there some countries that trigger a more difficult process? I've shipped to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Israel, and all over Europe including some of the former Soviet block countries and it's been no problem at all. In buying stuff, I'm receiving items from Hong Kong and Israel faster than I get it from across the state.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: tone panel deal of the moment
If you're an account holder with UPS, International Shipping is not a chore - just filling in one carbon piece of paperwork, and stick it in the clear envelope. Viola! I am not sure about the recipient though, since none of our shipments include duty / taxes / customs fees and not sure I want to know how much it is either. In any case USPS has been a delight to ship with for our eBay goods, really easy to fill out the shipping label and postage. I think they can get up to 70 pounds before they have to have special handling. I could be wrong Im not about to leave a 70 pound package for my door to door carrier to pick up from home I'll do it at work instead. :-) Cheers! John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.

In the Ebay world, some US Sellers believe a majority of their inbound scam and proof of delivery - tracking problems are related to some (not all) out of the country buyer/seller sources.

I wish I knew what your secret is for making International UPS shipping that easy. Where I work we do retail UPS shipping for customers. We finally just gave up trying to ship internationally. Every time we tried to send one out, the driver would reject it or else it would come back the next day, rejected down the line. The explaination was always that we had omitted the correct form(s) and/or included the wrong ones. This is after working with UPS directly on the phone to verify what was needed. That issue, combined with the high fees ( $125 for a medium to large box) discouraged customers anyway. On the other hand, USPS International Priority Mail is a breeze; only one short form to include with the regular shipping labels. And the price is good too. 73 Paul - Original Message - From: La Rue Communications If you're an account holder with UPS, International Shipping is not a chore - just filling in one carbon piece of paperwork, and stick it in the clear envelope.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: tone panel deal of the moment
Folks - To simplify UPS International Shipping. Refer to UPS Form Declaration of Contents and Shipper's Letter of Instruction Its a 5 page (Carbon copy) document, that you fill out (Takes me an average of 3 minutes), tear off the yellow copy and keep for records, and stick the rest in a clear envelope. Print out the label and hand it to the driver / clerk. Its all the information they need and it never comes back rejected (Unless I accidentally left the Haz Mat sticker uncovered - whoops) I thought it was a HUGE hassle at first, but I realized how simple it really is. Seriously - its a LOT easier than a lot of folks realize. Just my 2 bits. :-) John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.
