How I deliver props to other countries
This article is for those who order props for bubble shows from abroad. These are the countries with props transportation problems. For example, the EU countries.
I'm going to tell you what you should do when you buy props for a soap bubbles show. What are your responsibilities, what are mine?
Rules for shippig props to foreign countries
Firstly, the money transfers that I receive from non-CIS countries basically are not deposited to the settlement account.
Secondly, I do not ship old type trays for Man Inside Bubble act to the foreign.
In 90% of cases they simply won't reach the customer. Transportation is carried out by air, accordingly, breakages of fragile props often occur.
Thirdly, when sending parcels abroad, I always evaluate them at their real value. The sum of the cargo value is recorded in the shipment documents. This is the amount that I can get back if the items do not reach the buyer. If, for some reason, your parcel disappears or it is broken, I must bear full responsibility.
In order to avoid conflict situations, we completely register the value of the cargo. If something happens to it, we can contact the shipping company and get a refund for their mistakes in transportation of the props for the soap bubbles show.

Props Delivery Time
You must understand that packages shipped to faraway countries can travel for a long time. It can take from 1 to 2 months, this is normal. Although the website can declare a 1-week delivery time. Sometimes it happens in 7 days, but unfortunately, not always.
Case for props transportation
A cover for a set of people in a bubble is standardly made for pallets: 100, 90 and 80 cm. The fabric on the covers is durable synthetic. The main thing is that inside there is a 10 mm thick gasket that allows you to protect the props from impacts and prevents leakage. At events it is also important that props evolved into covers and look presentable. All my prop in the warehouse is stored right in the covers.
Do not forget about customs clearance!
You must specify on your own when importing such parcels to your country whether you have to pay for customs clearance of this cargo. Recently there was such a situation: we sent a 23-thousand-ruble parcel to the UK. We paid for its shipping via EMS mail service (with insurance of 3,700 rubles). In fact, when the parcel arrived in the UK, 120 euros were requested from the recipient for customs clearance of this parcel.
The cost of customs clearance depends on the cost of the items. Here there is a controversial point: I declare the high cost of the cargo, and you have to pay a large amount to the state to get your order. If you ask me to evaluate a parcel of 1 thousand rubles, I can do it. In this case, you should clearly understand that if something happens with this cargo, the cost of reimbursing the parcel's cost from the transport company will be 1 thousand rubles, not more.

Whose responsibility?
I am responsible for your shipment as long as I pack it, inspect it before sending it abroad, prepare it in the proper form for the flight. If I miss something, it's my responsibility. Repeated shipments will be at my expense if the cargo is returned through my fault.
Your responsibility comes a little later. You must know the terms of customs clearance in your country. Maybe there are some peculiarities of the import of certain goods into your country. This is all you need to know. Unfortunately, I can't be aware of the rules for shipping goods to all countries.
You must decide whether to insure your parcel or save money. This is no longer my responsibility. I surrender the goods to the transport company, then the carrier is responsible for it. In my understanding a postal service a carrier too. As soon as the parcel is in your hands, you are responsible for it. If you receive broken props at the post office, you should make a claim against the transport company.
We need to understand the areas of our responsibility and treat each other with respect.
