When taking credit cards, always assume you are handling dynamite. Credit card companies want accurate documents and tracking numbers. This means at the very least Express Mail, UPS or Fed Ex. Declare at full value.

Avoid using mail service of any kind to Spain, Italy and Greece. French mail seems to have it's bad periods, other times can be quite good. As a rule European mail systems and customs departments can be as good as any found in 1730 A.D.

If a customer wants anything else, say to them send a bank check or bank wire transfer.

Credit card companies like things nice and neat, they would rather you do not ship to addresses other than the billing address. I have had banks tell me always assume the customer is a crook (The price of getting shafted, maybe $1,000's. Corporate sincerity- priceless). Remember, it's the bank's card (not the customer's) so it's their rules. Keep in mind PayPal is no better.

I'd rather not be in Philadelphia.
