Shipping to Europe

Hi everyone,
I've had a couple of interested buyers from Europe for a lens I'm selling and I was wondering what carrier people use to ship stuff from the US to Europe. I'd of course want insured and receipt on delivery shipping.

Any other gotcha's I should be aware of?



Thanks in advance
John

anyone will ship anywhere

usps
ups
fedex
dhl
whatever

the only thing different are tarrifs and speed of delivery

you as the shipper are free of any surprises, you pay the cost of shipping and insurance. Done!

The recepient pays taxes, if anything, depending on the region where you are sending, the declared value, and the type of good.

USPS, don't know about Europe, but USPS has been the the quickest & safest down here to Australia.

Shame our own local postal service was'nt as fast & efficient.
