Would you post to Japan?

TinyPablo

I have an item on ebay and today received a question from two different buyers asking what the cost would be to post to Japan. The listing is UK only, is glass and is rather expensive, I don't know if it would be worth the hassle to send to Japan as there seems to be a lot of interest within the UK. Bother buyers have 100% positive feedback.
Has anyone else posted a fragile item to a country so far away and is there anything else I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

id explain to them that if you send it its at there own risk make sure you wrap it up as much as you can in protective wrapping make sure you get the money from them first though before sending if there positive is 100 they should be genuine

if i can sell a item to an UK ebayer with the similar price, I would not send it to overseas.

The seller remains 100% responsible for the item until it arrives, so no point in asking the buyer to assume the risk.

You would therefore need to find a courier or something in advance that will insure glass to Japan and work out the postage costs.

Normally I would say yes but as it's an item likely to break then this time I'd say no.

Agreed - generally I would not be worried about Japan on fraud grounds, but the way those cargo boys chuck stuff around...
