Yes, and when the seller specifically states Conus shipping only, you then have a problem and start whining and complaining.
I haven't the slightest problem, and I respect seller's point of view.
If he wants to send, that's ok.
If he doesn't, that's his choice.
You think Conus-only sellers don't have a legitimate reason for not shipping overseas. You simply don't respect the intentions of others, hence the "paranoid" slag.
Everybody has a legitimate reason to do whatever he wants to.
But let me tell you that I always ask a seller why he/she does not ship internationally, just to understand reasons.
I NEVER get an answer. This must mean something...
Your "feedback" is irrelevent, and has no impact whatsoever on what transpires during shipping. It's not about YOU, try to think outside the narrow parameters of how YOU WANT others to conform to your desires. Show some respect.
That's your point of view.
An experienced buyer knows exactly all the pitfalls of international shipping to his own country and can settle 95% of the issues before shipping, including a stolen/damaged instrument or a five weeks stop at customs offices.
A serious buyer won't try to cheat seller. That's what feedback is about.
I always assumed that's the person that makes the difference, but looks like I'm dead wrong here.
P.S. : I have no experience in Con-US shipping but I assume that something can go terribly wrong even shipping locally.
...well this unbelive is here but as I said here is lot of good helpful people on talk bass, many many responsive music instruments shops, etc. Well if you are not American you can sometimes feel some distance...pity
