I have sold many watches and I always said a price shipped conus ....I usually offered a higher price shipping option for the overseas shipping .....NEVER AGAIN !!! I sold a watch to a guy in England .....It costed 40 dollars to ship Priority International USPS .... All you get for 40 bucks is a little insurance and a customs track number !!! The guy in England waited a week or so and decided to try and track it after 10 or more days ....He told me that it seemed to be in Canada !!! I thought mabey there was some weird way for the USA to send mail to Canada to go to England ???!!??? I tried my local post with no help and then the big Post Office we have in Green Bay . They gave me the runaround and an 800 number . I tried to get thru several times waiting on hold for a half hour each time before getting spanked around some more ....I had no answers untill I finally was persistant enough to get somebody to try and find the package after I threatened a claim ..... I was told after an hours wait that indeed the package was in Canada and it was attempted to have been delivered 3 times !!!! I said wasnt there a way to stop it and get it shipped back to me ??!?? NO, it was to try to be averted to go to England after all ??? !!! It would have to take its course they said !!! I was sick, as this was an expensive watch ....all this time I was getting no less than 5 emails a day from the buyer demanding their money back ...I was told that the package was going to find its way to England ...so I didnt want to refund , and then the watch shows up there..... and since the buyer had shown anger and called me a lier etc., I was worried I would get screwed ...The buyer had a freeze put on my paypal account through an escalated grievence.... and the buyer had sent me over 20 emails in one day ! so I was a little freaked out .....anyway last week look what comes onto my doorstep out of the blue ... a beat up stickered up box ,after 27 days.....The watch was safe inside though .... I was lucky ......I emailed the buyer to say I will refund right away .... Then as I try to do so , Paypal would not let me !!!! Since it had a freeze on an investigation .... I told the buyer he had to tell paypal to let me refund and it would probably be a few days ...the buyer needless to say is sceptical and thinks I am jerking around .....I got so frustrated I was sick ......Thats where I stand now ..... Now I know why sometimes its CONUS ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
