[Leica] Just curious

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

Dealing with the USPS is painful, and it is the only practical way to deal 
with overseas shipments.

UPS takes me maybe 1 minute to ship a box.... USPS takes 20 minutes to get 
to the front of the line, then, if there is a problem
with the shipment, they tell you to wait a few weeks to months to see if the 
package did arrive before they will allow you to file a
claim, even for USA shipments.... Just not friendly.  ( But they will make 
sure your junk mail gets to your house on the day it is
supposed to.....)

.USPS is fine for junk mail... do you think your Leica is junk?

Bonjour,

  I just noticed that one of our lugger friend is selling a camera and will 
only ship to the US.  I've also noticed that many people
on eBay make it clear that they do not ship outside of the USA.  Heck, some 
won't even ship an item to Alaska!  Now just out of
curiosity really, in this day and age of globalization and international 
trade, why are so many americans refusing to ship outside
of the continental USA, and potentially lose sales and money?

  Again, just curious and...puzzled.

  Best,
