Shipping to Morocco anyone?

Hi Cindy

I started to tell you about Morrocan customs yesterday but you had to go.

A friend of mine is married to a Morrocan Arab.  She used to buy aromatherapy products and ship them over to her husband’s family.  By the time the package made it’s way through customs and reached her in-laws it was missing half it’s contents.

Apparently one of the perks of being a customs official is that they can help themselves to anything they fancy.  Everytime the package is handled someone takes their ‘cut’.  I would imagine that foreign packages are quite desirable. 

So unless your buyer can guarantee customs won’t touch his parcel I don’t think he’ll ever get the contents, or if he does there won’t be much left of them.

Probably not what you want to hear but hope it helps anyway.

My vote too is that it won’t get to the buyer. In fact, I think you’d find that mail sent from somewhere in Morocco to somewhere in Morocco doesn’t even arrive half the time. On the other hand, the buyer is an adult who should be aware of the problem. If he is willing to make a purchase with the understanding that you accept no responsibility for him ever receiving it, so be it. Make certain you get paid first, and that the payment has cleared your bank before you send of course.  😉 Let us know how it plays out.

Cindy, I know exactly what you mean.  I’ve had similar experiences, and if I were in your position, I would refund his money and regretfully refuse to ship.  Too many unknowns.  🙁
