Hi guys,
has anyone successfully shipped anything even legit to Italy?
I used to dread sending stuff to Italy even when I was on eBay. Stuff would never get to the destinations or if they did it took weeks.
Has the postal system improved? Any sellers got stuff through? If so how long did it take?
I know Italy's postal system has a bit of a bad rep as a lot of companies refuse to send things there..

Just spoke to my cousin in Frosinone Italy; Receiving mail there is still an absolute nightmare. Avoid at all costs =/

I'm a buyer based in center Italy. I had experiences with drugs in the mail before...
And now waiting for 2 orders on SR. Let's cross the fingers, but i'm not very confident.

None of my two orders (sellers were based in Italy) came at home...
I fucking hate my country.

i saw on ebay, sellers really do hate to send to italy?
why so?

The big problem is with the common / ordinary mail. Since it's not tracked there's a good amount of stolen / lost packages.
Things change if you use tracked mail, it's very fast and reliable (i've sent a 1000 euros worth guitar 1000km away from my city and it arrived in 2 days, without any problem, for example).
No one is going to use tracked mail for drugs, tho...:-(

Some years ago i've been in the Netherlands and with some friends we shipped some boxes (with weed of course) at home.
On 4 packages, just 1 arrived (mine), and it took 2-3 weeks. When the postman gave it to me i was able to smell the weed from outside the box, lol, i really can't believe it made it trough...but it happened.
It's matter of luck i guess.

Update:
One the packages ordered from Silk Road arrived this morning! After 1 month.
I've learnt that: never to loose the hope. :)
