as many have saidSo I'm at fedex, shipping a blade out of the US and they are requiring the social security number of the citizen I'm sending to.. that normal? Also they are asking about the items value?
Advice please
Turns out the SSN is required for customs. according to the buyer it's not that uncommon in Italy. But boy I felt weird having to ask the buyer that.as many have said
SSN= really weird, I would unwind the deal.
value= determined by the buyer, so you can put whatever they want.
where are you shipping ? I ship all over and I mean all over, this is the first I have heard of this.
That’s what the OP said. SSN is a US concept. Trying to avoid paying customs ...I've shipped internationally many times and never provided a ssn. Is it a u.s. citizen in italy? otherwise I can't imagine they would even have such a thing.
It looked to me like they have a number simular to our ssn but for some other use. But it must still be refered to as a ssn cause he knew exactly what fed ex needed. An the number is a mix of numbers an letters more like a vin# . Fed Ex asked for their Socail Security Number an to anyone here in the states like me.. asking for someone's ssn has scam written all over it. It was awkward but turned out to be no big deal.
