REFLECTOR: Shipping a Velocity overseas

[Craig Kennedy]

Hi 

 

I'm on the other side, I brought Dale Alexander,s kit and shipped it do
Australia without seeing it (except photo's). Its pretty scary sending
money to someone you don't know for something you have never seen.
Luckily it all turned out fine and a Velocity will be built (someday
soon).  

This is obviously no help to you and hopefully you're  not being scamed.
- Good luck with the sale.

Have the foreign buyer 'wire' the money to your bank account.  For some
reason, there is a belief there is something magical about cashier's
checks.  About the only thing magical about them is they are amazingly
easy to forge.  Because an overseas check usually clears through the
bank system by the physical presentation of the check for payment it may
take several day to a week or two to actually clear before the funds are
safe.  In comparison, a lot of the domestic checks clear electronically
the same day or a couple days at the most.  Wiring is easy; just send
the bank name, ABA number, routing number (bank will provide the
information or its on you checks), phone number, your name and account
number and you're good-to-go.

 

Fortunately, I've never been bit, but there are a lot of biters out
there.

	Hi Mel,  

	   Wait about 8 weeks for the funds to clear. 

	 

	   Pardon my cynicism - there is a common scam involving an
overseas buyer, with a cashier check(s) for amount significantly in
excess of purchase, you handle shipping then send or wire back the
balance.

	 

	  I had some friends that nearly sold a plane that way, asked
their bank 3 times if the "cashiers check" was valid & good. 3 times
bank said it was. About 3-4 weeks into the deal, bank called them and
said wait up, turns out the funds aren't any good after all. Fortunately
they hadn't shipped off their plane yet.

	 

	  Besides that, good luck Mel. I think yourr V will fit inside a
shipping container, wings/canrd off, spar angled in 45 degree (or so)
angle.

	 

	Regards,
