Anyone shipped to Spain? I have not in the past.
I have shipped to almost everywhere in Europe but not Spain .
Never had any problems except with Italy - Italy does not have a postal system they have a postal disaster.

No problems with Spain -- but I haven't had any problems with Italy either so maybe not a good barometer here.

I have an American expatriate from Spain who claimed he did not receive his goods and filed complaint with Paypal,of course I have no trackable DC to prove anything.

No problems shipping international to Spain or anywhere else world-wide.
I always ship Air Mail Parcel Post insured or Global Express Mail.
Both can be tracked with the customs label number, and the GEM # for express.

I've shipped many times to Spain, Portugal, Italy and never had any problems. I also insist on payment direct into my Euro bank account (since it's the defacto EU standard payment method for domestic and cross border transactions) so no chance of reversal. I always get proof of posting and have a clear return address on all packages so they never get "lost" or become "dead mail".

I shipped something to Spain about 6 months ago
It took 7 or 8 weeks but she had paid with Western Union so I wasn't concern - but she was!!!

I love to ship to Spain. My buyers have always been friendly and the packages seem to arrive in record time. I use Global Priority whenever possible, but have also shipped large items with Air Mail Parcel with no problems.
