How do you send international?

[TheTGB]

Well it's not how do you send international in the easy way...

How do you send international so you know that the package arrives at it's destination. I assume Delivery Confirmation won't work. I just sold a card on eBay and have to send it to Taiwan. I was wondering what I should do to get proof of sending and receiving just in case I get screwed by PayPal. Would signature delivery work in Taiwan? Is there anything I don't know about that would work? Thanks!

I would just ask the clerk at the post office. They'd be able to tell you

I sent(last time spring 06) my International packages Global Express Mail (which provided a tracking number) it was the only way to verify.

In my last job I sent a lot to China. I would say either USPS Global Express, or UPS-Fed/Ex. I have received cards from Taiwan though and they came regular Air Mail. Lot cheaper than Global Express. (I only paid $3.00 S&H which is pretty much what you pay on ebay anyway.)

I just sent to Canada Air Mail USPS, and didn't even need to fill out any forms.

I would put the card(s) in a bubble mailer and then in one of those small boxes you can find at the post office with a tracking number and insurance.

prob. be a little more expensive but thats a safe way to do it.

Global Priority
regisitered mail
UPS International
FED Ex

These are the only ways I send to out of US buyers. If the card is >$20 I wouldn't worry about it though.

Anytime I have to send out of country... I will always send it via Global Priority... If a buyer asks for express, I will also do that, but to some countries, it can cost upwards of $30....

Global priority usually is pretty stable and cheap, although I don't know how much the new price structure will increase costs... This past year I've sent to the following places for the following amounts:

Canada: 6.25
Sweden: 7.00
UK/France: 7.50
Mexico: 6.00
Puerto Rice: 4.75
Japan: 9.50
China (Mainland): 9.50
Hong Kong: 9.50
Taiwan: 10.00
Saudi Arabia: $11.25
Israel: 5.00
Costa Rica: $6.25
