Any problems posting to Czech Republic or Hungary?

Options
Hello

Can I just check are there any problems posting to Czech Republic or Hungary? I know that some people have said that the Italian postal service can be terrible, I have had two requests to post to the above places and cant see any reason why not but just wanted to check to avoid any problems and also what is the safest way to post?

Thank you for any advice.

    Never posted to Hungary, but posted to Czech republic the other week and was there in about 4 days. I also posted to Italy recently and was fine too, despite the buyer warning me to keep my proof of postage! Everyone on here seemed to think Italy was bad, but that sale was fine for me.

    In fact (touch wood) all my postal problems have always been with UK buyers.

    too many comps..not enough time!
  • Thankyou Chickaroonee that advice is really appreciated. I already thought I was going to post but like you said you often hear tales about the Italian postal service and just wanted to check that no one knew of any countries it may be best to steer clear of.

    I've had quite a few buyers to the Czech republic and Hungary recently, maybe the markets there have suddenly 'found' ebay as it is quite a common shipping address for me now. So far I haven't had a moments problem with any sales there.

    I have however had problems with Italy and am now one of the sellers who has that country blocked.

  • Thank you Soolin, it is very reassuring to be able to ask confident established sellers on here if I am a little unsure of any requests.
