I want to know if there is someone from the sponsors of this board, who think is possible to use the plain USPS shipping method and not the FedEx in the case of an order bigger then 100$ ..because from who I was buying until now ( also sponsor here) don't want(can't) help me in this problem. I was trying hard to stay in the 100$ limit to not excceed the 30$ USPS shipping tax, but now I'm growing and in this moment I need some components and Torzite guide sets for 3 rods..no way to order them with a shipping tax like 100$+ (FeDex) way too much for me.

Im from Romania.

So im looking for a long term colaboration with someone who can help me in this problem.

Also,my question is for everybody who maybe can give me any tip .

My email is : ulkustom@yahoo.co.uk

Thank You

So you were fine with paying 25% shipping charge from orders $120 to $200 and even higher % charge for under $120 orders with the $30 international shipping charge minimum.

I am guessing components and Torzite guides for 3 rods will be well over $400 which $100 for FedEx would be 25% of shipping cost at $400 and would be less % over that amount.

International shipping insurance which covers it being lost, stolen and damaged is a lot for that dollar amount too. My guess is the insurance of over $200 is an issue or nonexistent with USPS.

My advice is get some local rod builders in on a group buy to help split the shipping cost if possible.

I don't see the problem here. You are either running a business where the cost of the shipping is part of the cost of the rod or you want the high end guides for yourself. If they are for yourself then either buy cheaper guides or accept the fact that they are expensive.
Do you not have any relatives in the USA that may be willing to accept the order from your dealer, repackage it and send it to you. If the mail losses your 400 dollar order then you are out the money.

Just my thoughts.

On Tues, morning Mick Batson posted about a cork closeout at Utmost Enterprises. I ordered a reel seat and 5 pieces of cork that afternoon. My order was in my mailbox at 10a.m. this morning, less than 48 hr.s later. My total for the order was $19.68 shipping included. My charge for shipping was $2.68. This is what I call service! I live 2900 miles from Utmost Ent. and my hat's off to them. I think this shows what is possible in regards to shipping charges. Thanks Utmost!

I can not address shipping to Romania using USPS. However, unless there have been recent changes, USPS tracking does not exist in China. After sending a parcel to China and their not receiving it after 4 weeks, I sent a second parcel using UPS. The UPS parcel was received in 4 days. About 3 days later the USPS parcel was received.
