Problems shipping to france with USPS Priority Int'l

[llsteve80]

I sold and traded a few things to people in france, on one occasion, the stuff arrived, on one the stuff disappeared and the 3rd is looking like its going to drop off the face of the earth soon too. WTF. No replica items or anything like that, just some hands so whats the problem? The "tracking" shows it was accepted at my PO for the 3rd one, and the 2nd just shows "label printed"

Who do you think is messed up? Laposte or USPS? BOTH?!!?

I don't want to have to start going UPS to France as well as Italy, but will if I have to.

I do not ship w/insurance either, since for what I'm selling, I would have to lose 1 out of 11 international packages just to break even, plus actually take my a$$ to the post office. Not really worth it unless the 1:11 ratio turns to 2:3

As frustrating as it can be, the alternatives to the Post Office are usually much worse.

You might have better luck with registered first class to France.

I have found that it works better for me.

Your mileage may vary, but good luck in any case.

I have something coming here from France... and in reading about their postal system there... i am only giving myself a 50/50 chance of getting it...

I'm regularly buying straps from the US and selling my unworn reps there.

It works both ways for me, but must be registered (costs + 4 EUR from France) and seems quite cheap from the US.

Is this just bad luck ?
