No, $120. Total was $140 with a tracking number.

Last week I sent a 7ounce package to Hong Kong for $7.xx.

Of course that was with no insurance. It only took an extra 10min at the post.

Most will send if you just ask. I know I would, depending on the product.

I've been lucky. Some of those "CONUS ONLY" guys have actually sent things to me. if they don't want to spend a few mins more, no biggie. Other things will show up sooner or later listed by other people.

On a related note some Ebay members won't ship outside of the EU, but I have asked members here who were willing to accept the shipment and forward it to me in the US. Most members here really want to help others enjoy the hobby, all you have to do is ask.

What is everyone putting on your customs forms when you fill them out for over seas shipping? Are you listing each item or just putting shaving items or something?

I hate telling people I can't ship things somewhere. But it's just almost a slap in the face when I tell someone "sure, I can ship you that razor, but the post office will charge me $15 extra." It's just stupid considering I'm only asking $15 for the item in the first place.

I feel bad about it, and wish it wasn't so difficult or expensive to ship things.

Sending up to 250 grams from Italy to Oceania is 9€ though, not much if you consider that you are upside down!

Looks like 100% out of stock.

Shaving supplies. Never had a problem.

[RANT]Grooming supplies, or vintage grooming supplies. If other countries customs people are anything like the Australian ones, writing razor on the box is asking for it to be opened, inspected and messed with, on the grounds that it might be a prohibited weapon. And if the customs person takes a liking to it, it could well become one and seized.

If you think I am being paranoid, we are now prohibited from importing any knife that can be opened with one hand. So anything with a thumb stud or hole is a "prohibited weapon". Further than that, any knife which has a blade loose enough that it can be opened when the customs officer holds the blade and gives it a vigorous shake is also snagged.

Now, in the eyes of those peanuts, what is a straight razor but a knife that can be easily opened with one hand? The writing is on the wall.[/RANT]

I feel for you poor guys down under. I know your guns have been swiped by the government as well.

**Go West Young Man** · 08-22-2012, 01:32 AM

CONUS doesn't mean they won't ship internationally, just that the price indicated is based on shipping inside the US. Most of us will ship international for the difference in postage.

Yeah, but we are kind of used to that. We've had heavy gun control for years. But pocket knives? Give me a break. Aldi this week had some folding knives for sale as part of their fathers day specials. Some &@$$ politician has now caused them to be removed from the shelves because "criminal gangs may buy them". Im not kidding.

For the last package I sent outside of the US, I entered "human foot" under contents. Made it there with no problem.

So that's where they're coming from. Very interesting.

I could, but my intent is not to overcharge someone just because of their location.

Thanks! I'll have to remember that for my next sale post.

Thank you, that definitely helps. I really hate some of the laws and feel for you. This will certainly make it easier to ship things to other countries and label them properly. Hopefully I can help out more members world wide with this knowledge.
