It's better to go with a package because you can declare its value. If it gets lost, you're covered for that amount. If a standard shipment goes missing, you only get back four times the postage fee.

Not until Monday

True, but hold off until you see the funds hit your account first. That’s just how business is done here in the States.

The red one is mandatory, and if you can, take some photos of those scratches so we can see them.
That shipping fee is an absolute joke.
You should have asked us here about the shipping costs first. As you can see, everyone in the forum specifies that $5.00 the price includes shipping for the package, so she needs to put the bag in a box and ship it as a parcel.

I have no idea why they do that; I never pay a dime

Wrap it several times in bubble wrap, or maybe just use some scrap fabric or an old towel.

The package includes up to 11 pounds $4.75

FedEx, UPS, international shipping...

Write them a letter... you can just leave a bad review here, but it’s honestly pathetic that she won't even return the money or go look for the package.

Yes

Yes, that is exactly how it works.

na $67 values, you'll cover shipping costs $6.75
check the USPS website if you want the exact amount

You're thinking about this the right way. You should always declare the actual value of the goods being shipped, even if it costs a few extra dollars

I wouldn't be so bold as to drop that much cash all at once; you'll just end up dealing with a massive headache from Customs anyway...

That’s just the risk you take when buying online.
But if you're looking at cell phones, you really need to check the specific regulations; head over to eBay and do some reading there first.

It depends on the size; the average is about $1.25

I believe you can. A box styled like a package should be able to go out as a certified letter

Exactly. You just package it up and fill out the form specifying how much the recipient needs to pay. On top of that, you cover the shipping costs—so about $14.40—and then once the recipient gets the box, they end up paying roughly $3.25 more than what was listed on the paperwork.

A package up to 11 pounds costs $14.40
If you include shipping in the buyout, you pay the $14.40, and the recipient pays an additional $3.25 on top of the price you set
I don't think it can cost any more than that, but you should probably double-check with the USPS just to be safe.

The recipient will end up paying $3.25 more than they would otherwise, so if they agree, go ahead and set it up that way.
