Seems two of three parcels sent from USA to Italy are never received. Anyone else have this problem? I had to refuse sales to Italy.

Hi ,
USPS takes up to a month to Europe , even for airmail !!!!! Remember this is the 'silly' season of the year , international shipments are going to suffercheers
The USPS white customs form has a tracking at top of form. Items clearly show the date & time received at local PO in Italy. It appears quite a few in Italy are claiming items not received with PayPal to get free items & shipping. Or, neighbors are stealing each others mail.
Hi Jimmy ,
If Paypal are supplied a tracking number then they're on your side rather than the buyer .cheers
I lost $90 with Paypal even though I could prove shipping to Italian crook eltd2002. PayPal stated when buyer has unconfirmed address even though one can prove shipping, you lose. The crooks overseas know this. I only accept PayPal in USA with confirmed address now.
I can't say that Italy sticks out in my mind, but I haven't shipped a lot there. I just had one to Austria that disappeared for weeks. I finally sent out a replacement via the same Global Priority. It still took 10 days instead of 3 to 5 and then, yup, the first showed up the next day. Where was it for 4 weeks, who knows?You could force Italians to ship via DHL or FedEx where you have total tracking. But it's 4X the cost as they only offer Express type service.
I had a package returned as undelivered after 7 months form Italy. This was a pair of tube testers at around $300.00 value. I have never heard from the buyer. Go figure...
