Re: [MOPO] Sending items to the UK
Hi Greg I’m not quite a shipping chauvinist yet. I always used to sell “worldwide” to any destination but when Covid hit, I reduced international destinations and have only reinstated a small number of countries. Customs and other issues just make it not worth the risk. Fortunately, there are more customers than ever in Australia, the US plus a few other countries.
