61-63 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 You never did give us the dimensions? I have a FedEx account and put in 30lbs from Miami to Clackamas and it was $42.45 FedEx ground. I ship car stuff from SE Texas to all points and have never paid over $100 for anything. Two Pontiac heads are about $85 no matter where I send them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Question for Overseas buyers: When I list items on eBay are there things you look for in the Title, or if the "Global Shipping" option has been checked off. I have a feeling global is an expensive joke. I enjoy selling World Wide, how do I attract more buyers? Bob Hi Bob, as an overseas buyer when looking for parts on Ebay, I first look at the year and make of car I'm looking for, then the items newly listed, if it's what I need, I then look at the price, then shipping costs and location of the part. If the part is reasonably priced and the shipping cost is reasonable I may bid on the item. Often guys list a part cheaply, but the shipping cost listed can be a total rip off. For instance you may find a $10 retail item listed for $2, but the shipping on the small item is $30, I don't even bother to comment on these rip off merchants. The other guys I avoid, unless I am desperate for the item, are those that list "ship to the lower 48 only" or "we don't sell outside the USA", what these guys don't realise, is that there is a world wide web of international buyers, who may want to buy your item, and some of those buyers will pay top dollar for your item. When you live in places such as ours, the car you are building may be the only one of its type within 5000 miles, so if you really, really need that part, you are going to bid on it and pay if you win the bid. What I hate with ebay is the companies and individuals that list pages of metal repro signs, mustang conv kits, aftermarket parts and lights that will "fit your car", about as well as your wife will accept second hand underwear from a charity shop. These adds are a pain and have nothing to do with vintage , antique cars. Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 So, if I DON'T check off accept Global Shipping I'm not chasing away potential buyers overseas? I have had overseas buyers ask about items, and once I know they are interested I'll remove the Global ripoff and mail man to man. I always feel bad about the cost of things to Australia and New Zealand. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I could not put 4 dash plaques that were individual sales into one package for a German buyer. Here is a capture of my $8.00 price plus his Global shipping Ebay fee. His total for four dash plaques at $8.00 each was $81.00 US. We worked out a US address and I sent them for 92 cents. There is a lot of mindless inflexibility in many systems enhanced by programming. I have had a computer program associated with my work since 1974, And even the most sophisticated programing will have a human "work around" at the user level. Very few practical applications end up working the way management envisioned. Usually management doesn't know. The human gives the program the appearance of functionality.

Bob Bob, I am surprised that you can edit that feature once you have a bid., What I have been doing is checking off "local pick available" After the sale we deal with the shipping outside of ebay. About 2 years ago I had a guy in Australia who bought a set of NOS finger shields for a 50 Pontiac. Fedex was almost $100 to ship them, so asked me if i could pick up some other parts and include it in the box if he paid me up front and I did. Things we take for granted like points and plugs I picked up for him and packed them up, as long as the box stayed under the maximum weight we were golden John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember the first Global go round a 45.00 book a lady bought was going to cost over $20.00 as I recall in postage. Same with an envelope & letterhead a while back, $3.00 vs $23.00.

39BuickEight Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I had a German buyer respond saying if I ship a part to a Florence, KY address, he would take care of the rest. There is a giant UPS hub in Florence, so I figured that was what he was using. No idea, but it all worked well. I sent there, and he ended up getting it.

60FlatTop Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I didn't send them to Germany. We worked out a US address and I sent them there. I like the Global shipping option because it stops those foreigners from asking me to commit crimes. I used to get requests to mark customs forms as a "gift" or falsify the value of an item. I thought they were lucky to get stuff half way around the world but they kept setting me up to go to jail so they could save a couple bucks. I had a good one a few years ago. I mixed up a shipping label and sent a Florida bound part to Washington State. The Florida buyer was very upset and claimed to be on a tight deadline. I contacted the address in Washington and the package had already gone to Canada with a load of parts a Canadian picked up in Washington. It had to be brought back from Canada and mailed to Florida on his next trip to pick up parts. The guy in Florida was from Columbia and needed to take his part in his luggage. Time was getting tight and he called me again. I told him the situation and explained that the person I sent it to was trying to beat the Canadian government the way he was trying to beat the Colombian government. I told him people make movies out of those kind of stories! Everything cleared up in time and the buyer was happy. He told me he would buy me lunch if I was in his city in Florida. Yeah, I sure wouldn't sit with him unless my back was to the wall.

mike6024 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I had found in the distant past that FedEx was cheaper than USPS Parcel Post, and so I even opened an account with FedEx which made it even cheaper. And FedEx (Ground) was cheaper than UPS. Also FedEx included tracking and insurance, which at the time would have cost more with Parcel Post. That was before the time of these "Flat Rate" boxes. Apparently things have changed now, but I'm going to ship something FedEx soon and see how it works out. You never know what FedEx will be until you take it in, it gets measured, weighed, and the destination put into the computer. And yes delivery to residences costs more than delivery to business addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do just as you have outlined frequently. Buy a part from a U.S. seller and have it delivered to my Washington State mailing address. Any of the towns along the Canada - U.S. border have shipping businesses that will receive mail, packages etc. for a small fee. I pick the item up and return to Canada. I always state the true purchase price as 99% of the time , as long as the total is under $250.00 or so the Customs Agent does not bother collecting the tax owing and just waves me thru. Even if they do have you come in and pay it is just the same sales tax you would pay on a Canadian purchase so really no big deal. Some items imported as commercial can also have duty but as long as a personal use item just tax. All my old car hobby friends do much the same. Why try to deceive Customs ?

60FlatTop Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) My experience with the Canadian and Colombian orders was entertaining to me because it spanned most of the western hemisphere. I like ironic stories like that, but my kids say I am easily entertained. It was only one of many stories of selling things around the world. I can't even count the number of times I have been invited to become an extended family member sending gifts to foreign countries. To answer why deceive customs, I would have to have more specifics on that 1% of the time. I would say I am completely honest about 95%, trust me. Some cultures pace value on being able to trick or get away with something. Aesop wrote a few stories that survived. One of my all time favorite shipping stories is this one: https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/bank-of-vernal.pdf The kids are probably right. I am easy to entertain..... and distract from work. Bernie Edited December 18, 2018 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsan Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Like Greg says. The only reason I ship to a US address is to avoid paying at least twice the shipping fee. The heavier and bigger it gets, the bigger the price differential. An hour of my time can easily be worth $100 if I'm shipping multiple items. Don't mess with Customs, to avoid taxes, it just isn't worth it. Buddy of mine had 3 forgotten limes in his car and was on the US CBP watch list for a year. They have longer memories when it comes to taxes. Interestingly, RockAuto has figured out a way to ship parts to me in Canada for about the same price as the the cost to get it to Washington. Using Fedex no less. And no dastardly brokerage fees. Something about bulk broker fees? Or maybe they just carry a lot of clout in the shipping world.

1912Staver Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The much more reasonable domestic rate shipping is a strong incentive. But even more of a reason is that many sellers of genuine old car parts { rather than commercial sellers of new replacement or reproduction parts} state U.S. sales only / no International sales. If I did not have easy access to a U.S. address the old car hobby would be much more expensive and in many cases impossible to source parts for my odd ball projects.

JACK M Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I was unloading my brass at a metal buying place awhile back and there was a US Mail truck (a small one like you would see delivering rurally). It was squatted to its limits and the guys were unloading a big load of the USPS flat rate boxes which looked VERY heavy. I glanced over to the scales and saw that they were crammed with bare copper. It was heavy cable cut to an exact length to fit the box. Remember that this equaled about a level pick up load of flat rate boxes. It was a shipment from a high school somewhere out in the sticks that was raising funds for some activity and this copper was donated. The eighteen bucks per box was worth the expense. Clean bright copper brings over two bucks a pound and these flat rate boxes looked like 60 or 70 pounds the way the those workers were sweating. The guy helping me told me that they had been getting a load like that about once a week from that school lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 We have a Auburn parts business. We ship parts out nearly every day. It is our experience that if the parcel is going to the lower 48 , a USPS flat rate box is the is the way to go. If the parcel is large or heavy then we use UPS. Our customers overseas just about always prefer UPS to USPS. The one thing about UPS is it is one carrier end to end. I suspect FEDEX is much the same as UPS . We just happen to have a UPS account.

UPS works great and I have had packages arrive in less than 3 days from the US, however expect to pay 2x or 3x the amount compared to USPS.

How can they have free shipping on a part totaling $10.55 That free shipping was somehow negotiated into most likely the USPS at some point at some ridiculously low rate that is basically subsidized by the regular US shipments that you see the 10.00 and up fees for along with the ever slightly increasing postal rates, so much they had to go to forever stamps. It is the only possible explanation when it cost me 4.00 to send a brochure across the country that weighs 8 OZ and I can buy an item from China delivered to my door that weighs more than 8 OZ for less than my cost of shipping and that includes the cost of the item. I understand bulk shipping discounts, one of the reason ebay can sell you shipping cheaper than at the window, but still makes a profit because they are buying it even cheaper and selling it to you at a mark up, then banging you 15 % on your shipping anyways. Fortunately I ship alot of Media mail so I fall into the lowest cost category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I was tracking a FedEx pkg. that I was anxious for. I saw that it had made it to the Portland facility so I figured that it would be the next day. To my surprise they sent it up to Seattle to be transferred to USPS for delivery. I could still track it thru FedEx but it ended up taking three more days. I have to admit it was still within the estimated delivery date but it kind of surprised me that it changed carriers. There is a 'Mailroom' here in my town that checks all methods to find the best deals for shipping. I didn't send any packages this season as its my turn to travel, but last year in my wisdom using the free boxes that I got from the liquor store I wheeled several packages into this store and was told that most of the shippers would not ship in liquor boxes. But they made me a pretty good deal putting my boxes into some of theirs, (which turned out to be the best deal for these packages) and sent them off double boxed. Twas the season. $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Shipping for any newly manufactured Chinese product is probably subsidized by the Chinese government, as well as any amount it takes to make the Chinese manufacturer profitable. The subsidies started with furniture manufacture and successful enough to close down a large number of US furniture plants. The dollars spent of waging an economic war are much more productive than building weapons. Even tariffs can be subsidized. A government can pay off a lot of tariffs for home companies rather than buy a fighter jet. So all those freshly manufactured, free shipping, items and low cost can be justified even though it seems incredible, if you take "incredible" literally.

Buffalowed Bill Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I was going to keep my mouth shut on this thread but I guess passing on this information won't hurt. This is something I said in response to some of the same questions on the Studebaker Drivers Club forum. I don't know how it might fit when it comes to no-cost shipping from China, so I'll just let others fill in the blanks. Yes China was an exception, because the US had given emerging nations special rates intended to help bring their economies into step with the global economy. The problem was that while it certainly helped China, it's removal was long overdue. The rates that the Chinese have been paying have not come close to covering the cost of shipping. In other words the PO was forced to subsidize all the small items mailed here from China. Previous administrations had sot to roll back the rates. Few on this side of the Pacific wanted the subsidy to continue, but this administration was the first to get get something done. It's common knowledge that the PO disliked the arbitrary low rates, because they were obligated to subsidize all the small items that came into the country via the mail stream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 FWIW, USPS rates are going up in 2019 and the biggest change that I see (at least for me) is that first-class package rates will now be 'zoned'. So you can't ship small packages at a fixed price or you risk getting zinged if you're sending the item far away. I'm going to review my listings and change them to 'shipping varies by zip code'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
