Tell the buyer to understand and accept any delivery "risks" this involves; it's not like that many letters go missing (between industrialized countries, at least). Another way to guarantee delivery is to make the buy two SIMS and send them in separate envelopes from different places. That's $1.68 and one of them is bound to arrive.
With reasonable international shipping costs, you'll probably sell a lot more of them. |
For SIM cards I agree. I only had ONE, an ECO-global, to sell out of the country.
I have sold other items like a laptop shell, Treo 600 among others that don't go for 84 cents. Since the value is usually higher than a SIM card, I want to insure the item AND have confirmation of delivery.
