Shipping to US Address' only?

[Watty]

I've noticed lately that there is a disturbing trend towards shipping to US adress' only. Now, although I see this as most of you guys looking after each other, is there any other reason why you would choose to do this?

I know that some of you have had problems with overseas shipping, but I also see a new thread every other day saying "Beware of seller x". It seems that if someone is out to rip you off, you're going to get ripped off plain and simple! It's sad, but I think it's true!

In saying that, maybe a little disclaimer should be sent when using surface mail outside of the US (for items with no tracking numbers) and tracking numbers provided for anything else. Would this encourage the US guys to think about selling overseas?

I started this thread, as the USA has a LOT of competition between different companies, and therefore it makes it cheaper us guys to buy directly from you. It's very rare to find decent prices on new or second hand stuff in Australia for example.

Touch wood, I've purchased a lot of things from the US, and never ever had a problem.

Anyway, thats my rant for the day!

Thats too bad. I always offer to ship overseas. I have no problem with it

Once you get a history on here wattage then you have no issue with people sending stuff to you
i think its because once it leaves usa it seems harder to get it back
not that you can when it stays in the country

There are some people on here who have helped me out before and let me ship to them and then sent it on to me
but that always costs more

However i can vouch for wattage he is one of the good guys so anyone on here thats not sure about sending to him you dont need to worry

I don't know why, but Australia is the worst country to ship to for cost and transit time. So maybe that scares some sellers off. I've had stuff take several months.

I've had a problem with shipping to New Zealand where I got paid with Paypal but couldn't get a tracking number for the person (as CPC didn't offer that service at the time). Once he received the item, he just did a charge-back through PayPal and to this day my account is locked. As I am not adding funds so this scammer can get away with my item and my money too!

Probably the reason ...

I will ship but I would check the shippnig charges WITH tracking unless of course i'd get a money order or something.
