Webuser Forums: Sending Item To Spain

Anything below 2KG can go Royal Mail Airmail and you would be best then to use International Signed For.

Not a brag but we have sold around the world - US, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Australia and so on. International Signed for can sometimes take as little as a week and as the name suggests it is tracked and has to be signed for - and you are covered for loss or damage.

Worst country to send to is Italy. We used to get a 75% success rate on deliveries there.

Postage Costs

To use it weigh the item as if packed then enter the weight in grammes and you will get prices for sending anywhere. You want the Airmail Europe, Signed For, Small Packet.

Spain is part of the EU so apart from an Airmail Sticker (write Small Packet underneath in pen) and the International Signed For Sticker (you get that from the Post Office) you won't need a customs sticker. Never forget to put your name and address on the back.

If the item has no bids check the EU price, add on a bit for the envelope and the fact PayPal will kindly take a fee from the postage and then revise the listing to send to the EU for that price. Otherwise email them back to let them know.

If you send outside the EU you need a Customs Sticker (Post Office or print off eBay). Canada has some strange rules - you have to put your address on the front of the parcel as well and they like one line for each part of the address and no commas at the end!

Mind, if it's anything like us, you get questions and then even if you make the effort you find they disappear to bother someone else!

Interestingly just checked on a buyer from Denmark - we did not actually offer delivery abroad but they bought without asking. Anyway posted on 10th and delivered on 12th!
