Shipping to the United States
Summary: moseco971 is facing difficulties sending an item to the USA via eBay, as only expensive shipping options are available through Packlink. They seek advice on determining shipping costs and solving this issue. lingma85 suggests comparing prices with Colissimo and warns about potential customs restrictions.
Hello
I need to send an item to the USA and ebay is not offering me any service.
On the “ebay Shipping Labels” page, there’s the option Chronopost World via Packlink at a rate of €20 for the shipment I need to make.
Unfortunately, Packlink only offers UPS or FedEx for this shipment, at €50 at best.
Overall, ebay Chat tells me to sort it out directly with the carriers, whose rates are at least twice as high.
So what basis should shipping costs now be determined on?
Have you already encountered this problem and have you found a satisfactory solution.
Thanks for your help.

Mentor3 weeks agoHello @moseco971
See what "colissimo" says for shipments to the US----->
Send a parcel - United States - La Poste
Compare it with another carrier and then act accordingly.
Be careful with prohibited goods that may be held up at US customs.
Best regards
