Why indeed? Same applies to shipping to UK, I've had several complaints from
sellers in US, that what you pay with UPS doesn't correspond to what they
quote on the website, paperwork hassles, but that USPS generally works fine.
No problems with USPS from this end (UK) either.

Just curious.

Why don't they just ship USPS?

Living in Canada and buying stuff(crap according to my wife) off of
ebay, always means a shipping hasel. But when the sender has used USPS
I have never had any problems at all. No problems at the border, cheap
brokerage usually $5.00 (UPS is like $25.00 and up).

I generally don't buy anything anymore unless the sender can ship by
USPS.

I have noticed some reluctance from Americans sellers to send USPS. is
there a reason for this?

Vern.
