Shipping to Spain?

[reclaimedcouture]

Hello,,, I sold a handbag to a customer in Spain. It is their first ever purchase on eBay ....... should I feel concerned with it travelling to Spain? I don't have any previous experience shipping to Spain and I am going to check the cost of shipping it USPS prioirty interntaional EMS to have tracking on it.

Suggestions please?

Thank you 🙂

Your listings says that you ship to Spain using USPS Priority Mail International for $47.20. You should not be advertising international sales if you are concerned with items traveling internationally.

Very true, thank you .... 😞

Priority Mail Int'l will include tracking so you don't need to upgrade to Express. 

You can add insurance through the post office but I would not recommend them for it.  Instead I would insure through a 3rd party like Shipcover or U-Pic.  It is easy and cheap.

Priority Mail International automatically includes up to $200 indemnity at no extra charge.

Is that specifically for Spain @duchess-at-speakeasy or does it vary country to country?  Just curious if you knew.

It's $200 indemnity for ALL Priority Mail International packages. Of course, if the actual value of the contents is less, you can't claim $200.

Some countries, such as the UK, do not allow purchase of additional insurance in any amount so the $200 automatic indemnity is useful. USPS previously provided automatic indemnity based on weight; I recall that the maximum for 1 lb. was about $67.
