Shipping from USA to Slovenia

regken · 07-21-2008, 03:00 PM

FYI. I sold a lens to Stash in Slovenia and shipped it US Priority mail 6-20-08. It got there 7 -18, almost 30 days and on top of that he got nailed 35 euro on duties. Just some things to know if you plan on buying or selling in that part of the world.

Hope I'm posting this in the right place.

Yep, we have to pay customs for everything that comes from outside of EU and to my knowledge so has everybody else in EU as well as other countries. No suprise here.
As for shipping times I never waited for an item more than 14 days except once when tracked package took 14 or so days just to leave US.
