Shipping to Germany? can really use some help!!!!!

[yankeesfan24]

someone is interested in buying my Dirk Nowitzki auto on ebay, but they are from germany. they are willing to pay the extra for shipping though

did anyone ever ship to germany before?

Just sent a card there too. You'll need to go to the post office and fill out a customs form. Oh, regular first class for a 2 oz mailer would be a little over $2.

ok, thanks for the help, how much to insure it with DC?

It's very expensive to ship with insurance and delivery confirmation internationally. Just go to USPS.com and you can get pricing there.

would shipping it priority be good? if so it would be like $14

I forget, but I don't think Priority is tracked outside of the US. I think you could do Registered First Class for less than $14. I'm not certain if Registered mail would "count" if a Paypal claim was filed; I mean it should but I don't know what Paypal thinks.

Oh, point being I don't believe there is any benefit (other than delivery time) sending Priority International.

I just shipped to Germany last week. I shipped Registered Mail. It was I believe $14, and I can track it. Registered is essentially DC out of country, and from what Im told should protect you if a claim is filed.

Registered 1st class international is your best bet.... Tracking, insured, and they will need to sign for it. I charge $14.99 for this service.

ok, thanks guys, i will send it like that if he buys it

FYI, I just sent a card regular first class to Germany on Saturday and the guy already left me feedback today...pretty crazy that it was so quick.
