Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Updating my way of selling synth parts. Anyone used google checkout?

2010-07-23 by Philip

If you sent your items out tracked and signed for using a minimum of USPS 
International Priority, this cant happen. Customs numbers are only traceable on 
this service and above (like Int. Express). 

Sadly it's my experience that when you go out of your way to accommodate a 
buyer, it usually comes back and bites you in the butt.

Apologies from the UK for your trouble.

Philip
