Anyone familiar with shipping electronics internationally?

Whats up my fellow G|A?'ers.

Once again, I humbly come to you seeking help and wisdom. I need to ship an item to Sweden for repair/upgrades. The company I'm shipping to recommends UPS, and they say that the cheapest method should cost only $50. My question is, what forms do I need to fill out? Theres like a whole jumble of stuff out there. Plus in my situation, I'm just sending an item over there, they are doing repairs, then they're sending it back. Its not like i'm selling/shipping sold goods.

anyways, if anyone is familiar with doing any of this, i'd much appreciate the help.

thanks

I would think that the company you are shipping it back to should be able to answer all those questions - it's their everyday activity.

All you need to fill out is a customs form. The form is available on the USPS.com web site, along with instructons. On the form you can indicate the item is being returned for repair.

Just a standard customs form should cover you.

Here's a step by step guide to shipping internationally over at the UPS website. If you have a UPS Store near you, they'll be able to help you out too.

Just curious - what are you returning? I know what it is ---- it is a swedish penis pump, isn't it? :heh: :P















j/k In all seriousness, what are you returning for repair that you cannot have repaired in the US?
