Make sure that you understand about dimensional weight. I just shipped a mint McIntosh piece to Europe in the original double boxing and the economy price came to over $200. If it went by weight only, which you can't do anymore, it would be about $75. Caveat "shipper."
HELP Question about shipping internationally.
Hello all,
I live in the USA. I have never shipped any gear internationally. I know some/all countries have import duties, taxes, VAT in Europe, etc. on foreign products when they arrive in their country. If I were to ship say a used cd player to another country would these "charges" be part of shipping costs on my end or would the person receiving it pay them when it arrives at its destination? I wanted to know before I list the item. Also are there any other problems or hassles I might encounter shipping internationally that any of you might know of?
Thanks a bunch everyone,
Jeff
