Shipping to France?

cosmicdebris

Looks like I am going to be shipping THIS to France. I offered USPS Gobel priority in the auction listing. What else do I need to know?

Green Customs form. PS Form 2976 Did you give the option of Registered Mail w/insurance? If so, your maximum indemity is $40.40

I don't like sending higher caliber coins abroad when you can't insure them.

From my auction listing:

<<Outside the USA I will only accept Bank Checks. No personal checks. ( Checks must clear my bank before the item ships. ) Shipping Internationally will be by USPS Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope and cost $5.00. Due to the fact that International shipping can not be fully insured, items sent outside the USA will be at the buyer's risk. I will not be held responsible for items lost in the mail.>>

I ship a lot of coins to France, and for the more expensive ones, I insist the buyers pay for Registered mail. So far, I have never had a Registered mail piece get "lost" in transit.

I had a Global Priority make it to South Africa just fine. I was worried, took it 10 days.

I had one take three weeks to Belgium.

That's enough time to get negged.

He couldn't really neg me because I emailed him a copy of the PO receipt.

That the price is right and therefore you shouldn't be complaining.

The last time I got negged it was from a buyer in Belgium who hadn't received his coin after three weeks. The day after he left the neg, he sent me an email telling me the coin had arrived the week before but his wife hadn't told him .

Did he divorce her at least?

Whose complaining? I was just asking.

So Custom form and Global Priority and that is it. Cool.

How long does an international check take to clear?

4 weeks I think. See if he can get a check written on a bank that also has offices in the US. HSBC Bank is one that comes to mind.
