Shipping abroad is so restrictive

[TiasTreasures]

Registered is worthless outside the US. Costs a lot but gives you nothing.

According to my post office, International Registered Mail is indemnified (i.e. insured) up to $50.

the blind. Not applicable to M-bags.

The cost is 25% of the coverage and you have about a 0% chance of collecting if they muck it up

U-pic will insure much more for much less

I guessing but were they shipped in a regular envelope? With the packaging parcel it gives limited options. I can't - how I can put it- ship lets say a Slabbed NGC or PCGS coin without all the hubbub with the paper work and or declarations. I have a Native American slave bracelet that I would want to ship with great care so in a box it goes. I see what you are saying about the researching of countries that allow these products. Well maybe I may just have to pass up the others that have these restrictions.

I have shipped using padded envelopes or boxes, which ever is most appropriate for the item being shipped. The customs documentation and Registered Mail documentation (if applicable) would be attached to either. I think the UK requires use of Registered Mail with the shipping of coins and precious metals. I do see sellers ship coins internationally for not much more than USA postage. I do not try to get around this issue. It is just not worth the aggravation of having problems with customs, etc.

Well it is just great how you all are helping out. I did some more research and I will be shipping domestic, the US territories and internationally after I finish adjusting the Ninja.

Again, thanks for the advice. It will go a long ways!

You all have a great day!!!
