ReplyDeleteItaly has no weird rules about shipping, it just has slow customs (so when you buy stuff and it comes late people would open a paypal dispute but that's not the case with a giveaway). Sorry for venting but I am so sick of people just assuming we are third world.
ReplyDelete1) Weird laws/rules/policies/slow customs ≠ Third world country. Please don't jump to conclusions that people think that.
Delete2) Please keep in mind that sometimes when someone has a giveaway once the prize is shipped, that's it. If something happens along the way that's the bloggers money, or the sponsors money down the drain. There's no guarantee of a replacement, or money back. Does it suck that we're not willing to ship there? Yes. And yeah it might make it safely BUT if we don't feel comfortable shipping somewhere we know it has a higher chance of not making it, or getting severely delayed, we have every right not to risk it.
Let's face it, even internal mail in Italy sucks. I ordered stuff from Sephora that never arrived, and they don't want to refund me because the courier never got the merchandise back to the shop. So conclusion is I lost my money and the delivery guy kept my goodies. That's Italy.
DeleteKas, sorry if my comment sounded nervous, but it makes me feel that way. Mail can go lost everywhere (to my experience, I got more mails lost in the UK - even before the Royal Mail mess I mean). As well as it can happen that it will be delayed everywhere (Italy is the worst here? Yes).
DeleteYou are also right that once a prize is shipped that's it. From and to everywhere in the world. But it's a giveaway so if it's lost or delayed I can't see a problem in there. It's different if we're talking selling. If I were a seller I'd totally not send to Italy myself. But for a giveaway? I can see no problem if the prize arrives 2 months later honestly. I don't see how that can be a *risk*? Not that if a prize gets lost you are replacing it I mean!
Sure you have the right not to ship wherever you want, it's your blog and your choice. But still I'd like to make my point in what I see kind of discrimination (I repeat, because it's a prize and not a selling).
Natalia: I've never had a single mail lost to me, not internal or international. But if you know Italy you also know that service varies *a lot* from place to place (ie esp. North vs South). I won't comment about Sephora because I've had problems with Sephora France myself so I guess that's not an Italian problem.
But it's a giveaway so if it's lost or delayed I can't see a problem in there. It's different if we're talking selling. If I were a seller I'd totally not send to Italy myself.
DeleteSee here's the thing. When it comes to giveaways if it get's lost or delayed there really is no problem...for the person who is supposed to be getting the package. For you it's free. It's a shame that something happened to it, but you aren't loosing anything.
We had a giveaway that we paid for with 3 Butter London's almost a year ago. They cost almost $20 a bottle here. Shipping was $20. If something were to happen to that the person who won would have probably been bummed. Varnished Valkyrie on the other hand has just lost $80. If $80 of our own money is going to be spent on a giveaway the LAST thing I want is for it to get lost or wonder where it is for 2 months. And even more so for this prize, because Someone else's money went into this, but I'm still responsible for making sure it gets to its destination.
What I'm trying to say there's no real chance of any negative repercussions for YOU. But if something does happen WE get the short end of the stick. You may be getting it for free, but someone else's money is on the line.
