Where have you sent or received packages?

Post by Hobie-wan »

What's the most unusual place you've sent packages to, or received packages from?

I got a package from Jastrebarsko in Hrvatska, Croatia today.

Morocco was probably the most unusual I've received from. I usually get a lot of packages from Japan and Hong Kong regularly.

I try to ship only within the States though.

I've sent packages within the US.

I've received packages from the US, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and the UK. I've bid on some Korean eBay auctions but lost.

Via eBay... I sold a homemade t-shirt to a guy in Israel. I sold a Beethoven CD collection to somebody in Greece once. I sold a copy of Chronotrigger to a dude in Australia. That's all that's coming to mind right now.

I won an ebay auction from Salerno, Italy for a book about Michael Schumacher that was in both English and Italian.

Just from transactions here I have sent to Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Uruguay, Sweden, Poland, UK, Blegium, and Spain. I believe I am leaving out another South American country or 2 and a maybe a few more spots in Europe. Interestlingly enough, I do not think I have sent anything to Asia yet...

Sometime in the early 2000s I received a package from Malaysia with comics for some random competition I won online.

Plenty of stuff from various parts of Europe (UK, Germany, and Finland come to mind more specifically) and I've gotten a couple of packages from Israel.

I know I've mailed stuff to Canada and Mexico. I want to say I've mailed to more exotic places than that but I can't remember.

Given the nature of this hobby I don't think packages from Japan or China are all that noteworthy.

I've mailed something to Turkey and India, I guess those would be the most unique.

Sweden (I think it was Sweden at least) gets a nod for being the most expensive place I've shipped to. Had the item listed as "shipped", and after looking at shipping costs I was going to end up losing money on the deal. Much higher price than I had accounted for.
