I notice on the Royal Mail website you cannot use there Airsure or signed for services when sending items to Italy. Is Italy considered a bit risky? I am selling something on ebay worth about £150 weighing in at about 2kg so how should I send it? Thanks
in a word -don't
there's a reason RM won't do it
Post in Italy is a lottery.
Well, no, that's an exaggeration. You might win the lottery.
My wife is Italian and she won't even post stuff home
You'd have more chance of it arriving safely if you used a Somalian pirate ship. 😀 Got a jiffy bag delivered here last week that had been slit open. Jiffy bag arrived minus contents. To be fair it could have happened before it arrived in Italy.
Thanks all, I won't be sending anything to Italy!!
I’m surprised by this – I regularly send parcels to Extralite in Italy, and they to me, and have never had a problem. I use the post office, Extralite use an Italian carrier called DPD. Got some rebuilt cranks back from them just yesterday, only posted last Wednesday.
Not worth it. Would rather sell a mobile to some prince in Nigeria.
