<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3440262, member: 77639&quot;]International shipments are an &quot;enhanced&quot; risk.&nbsp; Because of customs, there&#039;s usually no getting around having to declare what&#039;s in the package and its worth.&nbsp; In addition, there&#039;s a higher likelihood of the package being x-rayed or opened for inspection regardless of what&#039;s on the customs form. And, the package may pass through more hands than domestic mail and possibly multiple countries before it reaches its destination.&nbsp; All this increases the chances of thievery.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have friends that own a farm-stay inn in central Italy and offered to mail them some tools.&nbsp; They said forget it; the tools would never make it through the Italian postal system.&nbsp; When they need items from the US, they have friends, relatives or customers carry them over.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never mailed coins to an address from outside the US, but have received many without a miss.&nbsp; However, there&#039;s been other merchandise mailed to me from outside the US that never made it to my door.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
