Shipping to Salvation

[HughJasol]

Anyone ever returned a module to Anthony, which would obviously be worth somewhere in the $350 - $450 range? How did you deal with declaring the value for less than $180 on the Customs form (as he specifies in his instructions, so he doesn't pay duty), but insuring the module for what it's actually worth (say $400)? I'm pretty sure declaring the value for $175, but insuring it for $400 will raise a red flag (and I have to think that the Post Office wouldn't even let you do that anyway)?

I sent three stockmods in the same package. Worth well over the $180. You can only insure what you declare as value for the package. You just have to have faith... or at least that's what I did. Unless someone on the forum has a better way. I shipped USPS Priority Flat Rate Box, all went well. I know, this doesn't help you.

Thanks Drew . . . that's what I figured. I'd feel better insuring for more, but I haven't really heard too many horror stories so I'll just have faith!

David, why not just hand deliver them? LOL

You could also just insure it for full price and then pay back the duty to Anthony...

Because knowing me they'd probably still get lost! :lol:

That's an option . . . any idea how much $$$ we're talking here? Say a declared value of $300?

That depends on customs in the Czech, you'd have to ask Anthony about that.
If I remember when I speak to him I'll ask him!

When I sent my modules they were held by Czech customs for about 4 days. In order for them to release them to Anthony he had to "buy" the modules from me (to provide documentation) and then I repaid him when I sent my payment for the modifications. Customs can be very strict as I did everything that was recommended including shipping to his CA address and they still were stopped. I say go with your gut. If you feel the need to insure YOUR assets then do so. Better safe than sorry. Just my $.02.
