Global shipping, as someone mentioned is for lazy sellers. I just received an item whch when when photographed by the seller was fine but after useless apcking by Pitney Bowes arrived partly broken. ie They put a small item in a huge box with no padding around it so it got smashed around inside the box on it's journey. Not really the sellers fault but I can't claim against Pitney Bowes either!

I think in future unless the seller ships direct I will not buy the item. Pitney Bowes sucks!
