Joao, maybe it had to stop in Brazil to learn Portuguese?
I believe we've already heard...Wanna hear about how I had to wait seven months for a new hat from Texas?
No, you don't.
Why? Can't I teach Portuguese? Heck, I'm in the most Portuguese place on earth.Joao, maybe it had to stop in Brazil to learn Portuguese?
It's already been discussed. But I do love EGSP. Works great from the US to Europe. The fastest I ever got a hat from the US was with EGSP. 10 days! Not 10 working days, 10 days! Less than 2 weeks!Think we could start a poll about who loves the EBay Global Shipping Program, or if it has already started post a link to it being discussed.

That is really nice to know since I'm not having the best news this month.Joao,
I got that 100. Sorry, man! I plan to post high-quality photos in the Resistol thread. If I end up not wearing it enough (a real possibility considering how many hats I have), I'll get in touch with you.

I would have bided more if I was in the US, so yes if you think that you do not wear it much, I'd love to have it.
The seller told me it have a 3.5" brim so I can live with it.
If you leave the pencil roll brim, it does not look that big. If you flatten it out, it will be big.Yes, I really like large brims as well. That's one reason I'm thinking about getting an Akubra Sombrero!
Same here!It's already been discussed. But I do love EGSP. Works great from the US to Europe. The fastest I ever got a hat from the US was with EGSP. 10 days! Not 10 working days, 10 days! Less than 2 weeks!
USPS/CTT usually takes 2 weeks but if Portuguese customs is flooded or stumbles on the box, than it's more than a month.
Since I pay import taxes on the front with EGSP, only pay for the item. With USPS/CTT, customs screw me then pay taxes for the item AND shipping cost, plus documents (usually it goes for 25-30% the total cost).
EGSP = cheaper, faster. Some of you hate it and want to allow the buyer to have cheaper shipping rates but in the end it's not that cheap (at least for me).
So yes, EGSP FTW.
That's interesting. I bought a recent antique car toy from Denmark. Postage was nine dollars Canadian. Same item with sellers using GSP in the US from Pennsylvania for a 19 dollar car is 24 dollars. It completely devalues the worth of the collected item. I received a second one from Ohio. 6 dollars first class no duty no tax. Under 20 is not subject to those fees but EBay GSP charges them anyway. England has Royal mail 9 dollars which is really great. They have just begun to implement GSP there. I have bought several Stetsons, vintage and received them First class USPS no duty no tax.Same here!
