Re: International shipping advice?

1. Is the Post Office open? You can't seal your box until they search it for illegal items. What's the difference for the shipping cost regular and then eBay rates? Do I ask the PO for the ebay rates? And I add insurance? And signature delivery? Sending this to Japan.

2) Trump cut PO funds and the delays for deliveries is over 2 weeks?

Thanks for any tips or guidance.

Yes it is.

Where did you get that idea? I regularly sell international packages and I always bring them in already sealed.

On the other hand if they are or might be illegal items then maybe you shouldn't be selling them in the first place.

eBay will be cheaper than the PO

 

Do I ask the PO for the ebay rates?

No point to it. The PO only has over the counter rates.

 

And I add insurance? And signature delivery?

Sorry I have no experience in this area.

 

Sending this to Japan.

I don't think the cut has taken place yet.  BUT due to manpower shortages there are some reported delays.

 

Thanks for any tips or guidance.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha 😂..... The President doesn't control funding for the USPS, Congress does. And the President doesn't deliver the mail either.

 

Here's a tip..... Go back to Civics class and learn. 🤔
