sorry but you're wrong.
well everytime, i receive a package from another coutnry (i know they are not insured) i have to sign for receive them. otherwise they return to post office where i need to go and take them after signed. also i asked about that to post office, they justified me any package comes from another country and with tracking number, i have to sign it to receive and they won''t leave it in my mail box. maybe that's not how it works in US but for other courntries that's it.

the problem about shipping which you don't know, the defference signed package delivery and the insurance to get pay back. in a case when the seller is payed by paypal (for most of the case) if the package is received by signature, the tracking number will show it received by the buyer. so any wrong reclamation will be cancelled by paypal.

but here the thing, US sellers afraid too much to lose money, they want absolutely to insure their package which add a high price to shipping costs. when we talk about paypal, they need to see if package is delivered, if yes they won't take back your payement and DON'T refund the buyer. in this case no need to insurance (if we don't talk about electonic pieces because there is a possiblity that they are broken but this is not the case for razors).

If I see a razor I like and it says US only I always send a message to the seller explaining why I want the razor and point to the fact that I've bought over 100 razors from the US and never had a problem. I always ask for it to be sent economy to keep the price down and tell the seller that they can use the message I have sent them as proof to show eBay that I release them from any responsibility once the razor has been mailed. I've only ever had one seller (politely) refuse me. All the rest have been more than helpful and I've never had a razor not show up

I have received packages from the US and some needed no signature and some did need a signature to be received by me. It depends on how the package was sent from the US via USPS. Normally you would pay extra to send a package with tracking from the US over sending the same package without tracking via USPS. The cost difference is not small.

The same happens when I send a package from here to the US. I have to pay extra for the tracking option.

That still does not explain any rude answers however.

Normally I do not bother even asking if the seller will only ship CONUS. There are plenty of other razors and sellers who will ship outside the US. I also will not buy from a seller who using the global shipping system provided by EBay because that dramatically increases the cost over even registered mail sent via USPS.

by USPS i'm not actually sure. you may be right. when i bought something frw time, the sellers send me without ebay int. shipping but they posted it themself. actually the shipping costs were fair and i received the item after signed. i think i payed about $20 which was the most expensive one, but i had a refund from seller after he/she sent the item about $9. i agree when you pass by ebay shipping option the shipping costs increase too much. when the seller send from post office, you have a faire shipping price. for the insurance, as i said i had never any problem with receiving items and i believe there is some buyers which can give false claims to be refunded but they can be identified by their feedback on ebay and as i know if the tracking statut is delivered, they won't be refunded.

well still, none of these is a reason to give impolite response to a potentiel buyer.

I think the biggest problem with sellers not wanting to ship outside the CONUS via USPS is that it requires that they go to the post office in person, stand in line and then fill out a customs declaration form for the package before paying for it. It can be very time consuming depending on how far away the post office is and how lengthy the line ups are. I believe a lot of private sellers are just not willing to go to the trouble of doing that.

I agree the shipping form of my last command is filled by myself, because the seller was just not able to do it. That's the command I paid too much at first step then the seller refund me about $9 when she expended the item, because as you say when seller foes to post office and wait some minutes at the line, it costs really not too much. Otherwise eBay offers its service which requires to pay plus for it. Btw, I rather the seller asks me to fill the shipping,form but pay a fair price. That sounds just better.

New to me situation, while I tried to find ZY razor for honing practice, I found 3 seller on eBay who sell ZY razors, two of whom mentioned that they don't ship to Ukraine and very politely answered that they will not make exception. While third one have very interesting policy he can send ZY razor with GD scales (which I don't like) but refuse to send ZY razor with plain black plastic scales which he have in listings...As I understand, maybe, he do not really have this product, it's like drop shipping, he sell items and other company store and ship them, that's why he have different shipment polices for different goods, which come from different wholesalers.

I don't know you guys, but since this thread I have only kind responses from sellers. I'm not sure if this is because the rude ones are on holiday ( lol ) but it's nice to deal with people who understand, even if they are not ok they answer gently.

I love old French blades and often find myself asking French sellers if they'll ship to the US. One has been rude, some don't answer and the rest have been very nice. You've got some really good deals over there but I've let some go due to shipping costs. When I sell on eBay my ads say US only, but I always Work with overseas buyers that contact me.
