Shipping To Japan?
SHIPPING TO JAPAN
Buyer from Japan wants me to send an item REGISTERED MAIL with INSURANCE and TRACKING.
Never shipped overseas because I’ve heard too many horror stories.
Anything I need to know or be concerned about?Regards, Tony

Re: Shipping To Japan?
I shipped a game used Kobe jersey to China once, while not Japan I feel if anything China would be more difficult. It was not cheap to ship over there with insurance and tracking and confirmation. The guy was pretty cool though so I didn't feel horrible about it. It took about a month, not sure if thats long or short as far as a delay, but when he did get it, he confirmed through ebay the package was received before Fedex notified me it was received.
Hah, not to self, next time selling jersey on ebay, make sure its only viewable to people in the states!

Re: Shipping To Japan?
Living in Japan I can tell you the postal service is a hundred times better than in the USA (as is most service). If a package cannot be received by the recipient they NEVER just leave it in front of the house/apartment. They leave a paper saying they tried to deliver something, then I can call up and request a specific date and time block to have it re delivered, or pick it up myself.
Even if for some reason it is left outside I'm 99.9% sure no one will take it. It's so nice living here where I can leave my bag and ipad on my seat at Starbucks to go to the toilet and find them right where I left them.
As long as you are comfortable with the buyer I'm sure you’ll have no worries about the delivery (at least after it arrives in Japan)

Re: Shipping To Japan?
UPS is $123 for delivery Wednesday, 9 April
DHL is $119 (without protection for lost/stolen). Want item authenticated to prove value.
Very expensive. We're talking about a card in a holder, in a package 7x8.
Seems to get there quickly, but expensive.Regards, Tony

Re: Shipping To Japan?
I would use Priority International... Will get there in about a week, cost you about a third of that price, and is extremely reliable from my own experience. The guy I deal with at the post office has stated before how reliable this method is to Japan.
Looking for ...
