It's a safe bet that more items arrive safe, than damaged. As for eBay, i would rather deal with gsp then some of the other middleman services. My husband has even sent out a large photo scanner (had to be 20lbs) and it got to half way across the world safely.
Avoid the Global Shipping Program at all costs. Anyone who is vaguely aware of how the postal system works does NOT need to use it! But I can understand the appeal for those who haven't had cause to use a stamp since 1999 when they popped that AOL floppy disk into their computer.
I'm not sure if it is better or worse than the days 4 in 5 sellers shipped to US only. Pony I received yesterday arrived with her box stinking of car exhaust fumes. Pony also affected. Highly doubt this was the seller as 24 hours in air has greatly improved the issue. Totally believe it was GSP.If the seller was signed up for it without asking then I don't blame them, but any seller who uses it to make shipping more convenient for them at our expense Im afraid I look on with a tremendous sense of contempt. Shipping internationally is so much easier these days, and there is a lot more protection than the cash in the mail days of old. Unless there is a serious physical reason like disability that prevents going to a PO, or the item is too big and unwieldy to send for less than a small fortune, to me there is no excuse to not ship overseas. I saw a lot of accessories recently from Canada. Pony wear. Seller shipped to US and Canada but nowhere else as 'shipping was too high'. On ponywear. Which a buyer would pay shipping on. Large playsets, fair enough, but Ponywear? It's really just an excuse.
I asked Ebay about it, and they confirmed that they knew it hadn't been - but didn't bother to change it on my account and told me to file a report against the seller because it hadn't arrived.
