So the package arrived back today.
No note from the Brazil Post why. But the Dutch label wasn't filled in either. Yeah underneath a sticker something with address (address is correct). I contacted customer service. First through chat but that person told me to contact Brazil post. That's BS. So 2nd attempt I called and this person was more helpful. Shipping will be refunded to me with the advise to ship it tracked and insured. So an investigation can be started if this happens again. With the note that South American mail has a reputation when it comes to mail.
That's not a lot extra shipping costs so I will pay those.
Because of the speculation it could have been the contents I suggested the buyer to swap Diamond Mint and the Wonderbolt for something else he wanted too but package was already on its way.

Aww dreams still come true I am happy for you

UK Ponycon is still affordable if it comes to G1 ponies But I also noticed not everyone wants to pay a lot for the more rare ponies.

And up here no sign at all...

I've seen US sellers claiming it costs $50 to ship a pony accessory overseas before though. That's definitely not valid. I think some sellers just do it to put off overseas buyers.

It really wouldn't surprise me

You do still get the odd seller here and there that's willing to work with you and ship things overseas (and not charge ridiculous prices for it :p), but sadly they seem to be scarcer than ever.

And that's why I shipped that package to Brazil. (see other topic). It can be done cheaper and secure. I always take the price of the carrier.  I also rather buy private to be sure the shipping is not insane.
But today's online world is obviously to get more money on vintage ponies.

Yesterday I went thrifting at my local fleamarket. There is this regular vendor with ponies I have good chatting with. She told me she has no clue what G1 to bring for her table since nobody wants to buy it. Or try to have it way cheaper price. Mostly commons, italians and sometimes a htf pony. So either the visitors are picky on price for something vintage or everyone has them already.

I also leave common G1 ponies behind. Not just because of the price but I think everyone has a Peachy, Bow tie and Lickety Split The vendors think they can fetch a lot because it's original.

I am not on Facebook

If it was just 1 pony thing the easiest would have been to take that one out and forward the rest. That's why packages are being opened. Especially from where I live they are very strict on their packages whatever is in it But maybe they did take it out and decided to send it all back.

But still it's vague yeah since I am probably not the first one sending toys.
