Experience shipping to Russia?

Yeah, I was able to add insurance so it should be okay. Still, I think I might want to add Russia to my 'do not sell' list on ebay. No delivery confirmation bothers me greatly.

Yes it is a risk ,I feel bad to not sell ponies to them though,since so far nothing has gone wrong and hope to stay that way
I did have to insure a lot of like 20 G2s that I sent there recently, It was over 200 dllrs so ,yes ,better be insured on pricey shipments.

I do find it interesting that almost all of those countries listed are ones the US is either in an active war or had been directly fighting against. And by "interesting", I mean "depressing and predictable".

I hope your package gets to its new home safely, NoD.

6-10 days is an average length to major markets... not all places.

I have shipped to Russia many times, but not anything more than probably $60.  I think the reason why it is so sketchy to get insurance or confirmation is because they don't deliver mail there... the people have to go and pick it up from the post warehouse places, so it is not very reliable.  I think I have shipped dozens of packages and nothing has gone missing, so I hope it all ends well for you... the waiting is the worst part.  Good luck dear!

Well tracking shows that it has cleared customs, so that's good I guess! Hopefully my buyer will have it soon and all will be well. (also hopefully customs didn't open it all, because that thing was so carefully packed...)
