      Chris: I asked to ship through FIRST CLASS INT'L MAIL as I always do… ALWAYS... Michael did so last Thursday for the IHW-01 and it cost him just under 20 $. So I'm not off on my rates...

      The UPS store fucked this guy over, and it might be his fault indeed (why agree on paying 62 $ in shipping, WHY???), but that is indeed probably water under the bridge and since it's a transaction I'm part of, I don't want either party left disgruntled...

      It's a 50 I really could've used this month but unfortunately it'll probably come to that...

      I'll make sure to notify future sellers to never, ever use a UPS store...  😠

        Yeah, it sucks, but I only feel sympathy for you.  The seller totally f-ed up on his end.  Too bad you're a decent guy and going to end up covering for his mistake.

          Thank you, Chris, rocket, Megatron and jacoavlu.

          Mega: I did indeed tell the seller to go to his local USPS office, tell his story and show them the receipt… There's a 50 $ dicrepancy in what the service he wanted  would've cost in the first place, and a ~30 $ difference between what the Priority Airmail service should've cost him...

          rocket: just read your PM. Although USPS Priority Airmail is supposedly no longer tracked, it actually IS most of the time… Although they told him the service didn't come with a tracking #, the code on the receipt would enable me to track it more than likely!.. So I'll be asking the seller for the # he was given... But trust me: it was nót shipped with UPS...

            I've always been able to track USPS priority international and never had a problem

            Actually I once sent a package to the wrong country, Malaysia instead of the Philippines or something like that, was several years ago, it ended up in the right place about a week late

              USPS offices have been telling the seller that Priority Mail is not tracked for over a year now, but it actually is… This might be because Paypal no longer accepts a USPS PA receipt as proof of shipment...

                  ^^^
                  that, and get a total cost including shipping, at least an accurate estimate, from the seller before going forward with a transaction

                      Seller was inexperienced shipping int'l. I'm not, and was trying to help out.

                      I'll just tell future sellers if postage is 5 $ more than what I told 'm it'd be, to get back at me…

                            thought this belonged over here,  look at the time of seul's post, reflect back on your day, & then GO . . .

                                anyone (best would be a german mate!) shipped to australia yet?

                                is it save to ship as certified shipping or would you say insured+tracking is the best bet?

                                      No problem, tracking just in the UK and delivery confirmation would have been 1/3 of the price. But I thought it was best to be sure.

                                        depends on the weight Finn, for up to 2KG use Einschreiben + Zusatz Option Wertbrief International, cheaper than DHL and still full insured, otherwise use DHL (more tracking options etc)
