Is shipping to France as unreliable as shipping to Italy or Spain can be? Should I have the buyer pay for insured/registered shipping?

edit: I'm shipping from the USA, btw.

Somewhat. I recommand registered.
I mean, problems aren't always happening, I sent about 100 letters there, but about 4 of them didn't reach destination.

I've only sent to France about 10 times and I've never had any trouble. I don't think that I've ever used registered when sending to France, but I would if the deal was for about $250 or more.

I shipped to France recently on a sale of over $200 but had to send priority and insured. Person bought multiple ebay auctions though.

Haven't had a problem with shipping to France. At worst, it takes as long as US/Canada but is generally fast in regards to international.

^Hi Friends

Yeah usually Make business with my friend ^^

i can't count how many time i do it the other way, i Mean France > USA.

Never got trouble... Can use Registred, Regular, No Problem and the shipping average is Within 10 days sometime Faster.

And AlmostGrown, when you send to France or where-ever Your shippment got a Green Sticker (custom form) with a Number on it Aka LSxxxxxxxxUS or thing like it. With this number you can track your shippment. => (Just Check My Have List, i put a Link on it showing the Form )

It just depend if You trust the other Party using regular or registred... For Matt, David, Etcetera i send Regular without any Trouble and for +50$/75$ Deal...

France postal service is pretty safe

Nope, my package is still lost. All that website does is redirect to the represented company websites.

France is fine. I still ask for registered because I'm paranoid and can't afford to absorb losses/thefts if it's over $50.
