Preferred shipping from USA to our UK mates

[ydanusas]

So, my ASM #76 9.4 ended 2 days ago on fleeBay and lo and behold, the winner is from UK. The reason I'm surprised is that my auctions are all set so that no international bidders can bid on the auction (long story short, I've been burnt too many times on international transactions). So I just had a conversation with an ebay rep asking her how this fell through the cracks and of course, she was of no help

 

Well, I know alot of boardies here are from the UK and I would hate to disappoint the winner (esp. if he/she is a member here ). That being said, I've sold and shipped a number of books on that auction site and here as well so I'm familiar with the packing methods. BUT, what shipping (USPS priority? express? registered mail? insurance? delivery confirmation) should I use so that the book gets to the new owner in a timely and safe manner and so that I'm not liable in case something happens during the shipping? Any idea how much it will cost me?

 

Thanks in advance all !

UK collectors need love too!

International Priority will probably run at around $40 or so for a slab with tracking and insurance and takes around a week.

Oh, and don't forget to mark the customs forms with 'Printed Papers'. That will stop HMRC trying to add import duty to the package (printed matter is exempt) and can save you both a huge potential ballache.

Thanks for the advice ! I quoted the $40 shipping and handling fee to the buyer to see if he still wants to move forward with the transaction.

 

Thanks again!
