In the past year I have have sold eBay items to buyers in Greece, China PRC, and Italy which have never arrived, or so the customers say. I have used US Postal Service, usually Air Mail, and attempted to purchase insurance. Sometimes I can inusre a package and other times the clerk says I can't. I need to file a claim on the Greek one still, but I don't expect the customer to see any money.
The year before I had to claim through the Canadians and it took over 15 months and was a huge PITA.
Short of never selling outside the USA, what is the best reasonable and reliable way to ship cameras, lenses, and such and actually have real insurance coverage?
Is it just that Italy, China, and Greece has thieving postal workers (which I suspect) and Canada has a impossible bureauracy?
