Hello all--
I am considering a CD purchase from the Netherlands, to be shipped to me in Texas. Alas, I have had no experience ordering overseas and am wondering what experiences others here might have had. The total price for me would be $350, before shipping ($50 more with the shipping). The seller stated the declared value would be less, which lines up with what others have stated in these old posts. The total cost is already high for me, plus there would be taxes for importing (ridiculous--I'm not a reseller) but I'm most apprehensive about simply having the product safely shipped to me. Then again, problems occur with domestic shipping, so perhaps the risk is no different. And, yes, the seller is someone I'd consider trustworthy.
Any advice, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron
