Default Overseas Shipping

I am talking to a buyer abbout purchasing an ipod and needs it shipped to Guam. I usually ship via UPS and they only seem to offer shipping via UPS Express to Guam. This puts the shipping at over $100. Does anyone have a better suggestion to ship to Guam where the shipping is not so outrageous?

Thanks,
-Paul

Hey paul, go to this site they will arrange shipping. I did a calculation on the Ipod, it came up to $36.00. http://www.freight-calculator.com/

Yep. USPS is the way to go, I think. Not sure what the downside might be but they will ship, require signature, and insure for under $10. Not sure why UPS requires $100+ - I just don't get the logic. Thanks!

What service are you requesting when you ship overseas via USPS. I have been turning down bidders on ebay from out of the US because the few items i did ship via USPS to Canada, i didnt see anywhere on the form where they were going to request a signature?

I brought the package to the post office down the road from me and just had them work it up. Didn't have to deal with any form.
