Help..shipping knife to France ?????

[actionjackson1]

Hi
I had a sweet blade on E_ay with Buy it now. Well I had it specifically listed as sold and shipped in USA only. A fella from France did Buy it NOw. He sent the funds along with extra funds for shipping along with a small note saying "I know you said USA only but"....
Is there any issue sending it USPS small box international mail?
Please help quickly,,as Im uncertain if I should follow through on this deal.I told him IM not going to lie and its all his responsibility once I leave it with USPS.
Thanks

Ive' sent hawks all over the globe and had very little trouble,had to reship one because the guy did'nt get to customs in time-Paypal makes it simple,so send it---Regards Butch

He paid for small flat rate box usps international .Do I simply package it as normal in the usps box,then drop it off as usual or do I need to tell them anything / fill out paper work?
Thanks again
Bud

they will give you the form at the post office. It's not a major pain, but if there are multiple items in the box, you need to know what each one of them weighs for some reason...

If you use the Paypal option to ship it, their system will print the correct form for you. It is very easy.

You can also go to the USPS website and use their system to complete the customs form. I have found a few postal offices who are clueless on international shipments.

Ok..I have sent stuff to canada before,never knives though so I wanted to make sure. I have nothing to lose,but I just hate for the other fella not to get his blade.
Thanks

He did pay with Paypal,which of course I use to print the label with.I guess when I proceed with label,it will give me the form option too,I hope. I wonder if $14.00 for shipping in small usps international box will be enough.
Thanks for the help.cheers to all of you! What a great forum!
