[Leica] Just curious

[joecodi at clearsightusa.com (Joseph Codispoti)]

Bonsoir Chevalier Robert,

The main reason, as pointed out by Jim Shulman is plain laziness.

You have to understand that most people want only instant gratification:
"give me the money and go away" is their attitude. This is why you see
auctions with limited descriptions, non-existent service, and other items
that point to sellers with no concept of respect for bidders.

One way to solve the problem is to give the seller the address of a friend
in the US who will receive your package and who, in turn, will send it to
you. It might be a little more expensive but maybe not, since your friend
would charge you the actual cost of shipping.
I do receive and reship items for two individuals in Italy.

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,

  Robert (Un chevalier sans blason)
