Ever since then I "seal" the addresses with transparent tape and I had no issues whatsoever anymore.

I am under the impression that Italian post is notorious when it comes to this. At least Italy is the only place anything ever got lost on me. Well, apart from that one time a parcel got lost on the 15km from Pulheim to Cologne.

Yep, this. Only place I've had something go MIA for 2 months and then reappear out of nowhere

Snake...? Snake! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

Amazing board, Andrew!

it's the sender that has to ask the carrier to do it unfortunately, not the recipient. Btw I once sent a pedal to France (from Switzerland), it took like 6 weeks within France to reach the recipient, I was about to refund him...

France and Italy are the two European countries that a lot of American sellers I have seen are wary of sending too. I have seen a ton of seller on eBay that refuse to send to either because of lost packages. I've never actually sent anything though. I think that newish ebay international service might make seller more open to selling there though. I am staying away from ebay these days though.

For France, the fear is kinda stupid. In comparative studies, La Poste is the winner or very well placed in the EU in terms of affordability and safe delivery. What brings the ratings down is delays. Basically, they suck balls at next day delivery.

COMMUNISM IS THE SOURCE OF POSTAL EXCELLENCE AND YOU KNOW IT.

Oh I ain't doubting France's postal system. As far as I am concerned, everyone I have dealt with is just about the same. I just know that fear was there (and maybe it is a 10 or 20 year old fear or something?...). Also, these sellers might be the same people that wanted French Fries to be called Freedom Fries.

Basically, I think the dude's pedal will show up. I've been waiting a month for a box from Russia. I ain't worried. Sometimes my international stuff gets here in 2 days (yea, it happens from UK and JP) and sometimes 2 weeks using the same service. I used a ground/boat service from Japan once that took 3 months . I've only had stuff lost/broken here in the States (and it is usually UPS's fault).

For some reason I'm getting all kinds of fun dinosaur sounds out of this.
