Re: Why some sellers don't sell their lights/stuffs outside US?
I will ship overseas, but generally only for more expensive items ($100+). The amount of time necessary to fill out customs forms is pretty much the same regardless of the cost of the item. I hate spending 30 minutes filling out forms for a $20 item.
Also, I will only ship overseas if the buyer knows what he/she is doing. They have to pick up the actual shipping costs and use a USPS service that comes with tracking. They also have to be okay with me getting insurance for the full value of the item. If they don't want to do that, no deal.
As far as post offices go, my local one about a mile away is pretty good. Usually a short wait and the 4-5 staff there all know me. The regional post office a few miles away, on the other hand, is a real nightmare. Rarely more than one or two clerks in duty and hugh lines. The regional PO's hours are much better, but I try to avoid that place at all costs.
