shipping to Uruguay?

[kellyponyfeathers]

I have a pony lot listed on Ebay right now.  I got a message asking if I'd be willing to ship to Uruguay.  She said that she's an Arena member, but didn't mention her username here.

Does anyone have experience shipping to Uruguay?  Did everything go alright?

I once returned a pony to a seller in Argentina.  It took FOUR MONTHS for the package to arrive; I thought for sure it had been lost or stolen.  It did arrive safely (eventually), but I wouldn't want to deal with that again.  And I've heard that shipping to other South and Central American countries can be risky.

Keep in mind that the US doesn't have any options for first class international shipping with reliable tracking.  If you want good tracking, you have to get FedEx, UPS, DHL, or USPS priority international, and that's very expensive.

Thanks!

Edit:  She said her username here is yurika.

I think I've shipped to Uruguay once.  The package arrived okay.

Personally I would agree to ship, but would insist that they pay for Priority International shipping.  That is insured, so if the package goes missing you could file to recover the money.

Hey kpf,

I just recently sold a bunch of ponies, I mean a bunch, two boxes full of ponies to her. I was going to ship them in one but it was going to save her a little money if we sent in two. I shipped there once before with no issues, but was really nervous about sending her two seperate boxes.  She reassured me saying she has never had a problem and I agreed to ship them in two if she didn't hold me at fault if one got lost. And it actually ended up costing more to ship them in two boxes instead of one, person at the post office gave me wrong estimates. She was very nice and paid the extra shipping money. She just received both boxes with no issues and we left each other feedback the other day. She was very nice to work with, hope this helps

It took a couple weeks to get there, but nothing unusual for overseas shipping. We didn't pay the exorbitant prices for tracking and we had no trouble.

I have just sent something to Chile and it took nearly two months to get there. If it is the same member, then it sounds like she knows what she's in for
