I'm about to buy a peter stone from the US, but they don't offer shipping insurance. Is it safe without insurance, or is there too great a chance of the model being lost or damaged? Thanks

i dont really know but i have never insured anything from the USA and it has always arrived safely.. but thats not to say it wont happen.. insurance is a tough one. I ship things the cheapest, First Class International, and have had no problems whatsoever But i know people that always pay the extra for priority and insurance because of items being lost etc.. BUT, the problem is: is the box going missing, or did the seller just not send it?!?! hehe, thats the unknown question in most cases!

well, you'll at least get some money back if it IS insured and it doesn't turn up. Things get lost, people lie; it happens.. Usually when you don't insure it.

Thanks for that guys I'm actually buying it from the peter stone company, off their ebay store, so I'm pretty sure they'd send it, I'll just take the risk.

Having insurance doesn't get the package to come safer. It also doesn't help if the sender doesn't keep the insurance card/reciept. I just bought two SMs and they never came and because the girl didn't keep the receipt she just payed me back with her money. I would go with insurance because I don't trust the postal service anywhere. XD Becky's just crazy. ^^

Well I've already ordered it now, so I'll just have to cross my fingers. It was a model that I really wanted and they didn't offer international shipping insurance anyway. So I just have to pray......

The model was Tucky, a palomino/flaxen chestnut arab off their ebay store. I would put up a pic, but I bought the last one so they don't show him anymore, so I'll have to wait till he (hopefully!) arrives

I wouldn't worry Enya, I have bought quite a few models now direct from PS, and I have never had a problem. Look foward to seeing him at the show!

Awesome, yea you probably won't have anything to worry about. It's just my luck that I both of the things I order around the same time get lost. But that could just be because of that one time. It was odd, but I hope he arrives safely!
