The problem is that UK shipping has many troubles.
In order to avoid it, we have to choose EMS.
When I wrote Postage list, it was $1=120yen.
However, it is $1=80yen around. It's too sad...
As you can see my profile, US$ is very cheap in Japan.
I'm gonna given you this report.
It is O.K. even if you regard this as it being
the mad Japanese's nonsense.
You don't know. However, the unregistered parcel is
very dangerous on UK shipping.
We still have lots troubles on UK shipping
which unarrived package.
Please check eBay new policy.

This is a disadvantageous policy for sellers.
Many sellers are not interested in the sale on eBay anymore.
I am continuing sending report to eBay and Paypal,
in order to solve this problem.
A seller is not protected from eBay, when not shipping by EMS.
Supposing it can use a Japanese priority registered mail number
like US Post Official Web in UK Royal Mail Official Web for research,
there is no problem. In that case, probably,
I was able to give you most reasonable postage.
However, a Japanese priority registered mail number
cannot be used on Royal Mail Web.
Moreover, it was determined that the British post office
refused the trouble-investigation request
from Japanese post office by the Geneva deliberations in Jan, 2010.
Such conditions are very disadvantageous for Japanese sellers.
eBay removed British buyers' uneasiness by their new policy.
They know well that it has many troubles on UK shipping.
However, they gave sellers uneasiness similarly.
Because, sellers know well that UK shipping has many troubles.
And then, eBay has notified sellers that
they say "Until confusion of a transportation company eases,
Sellers need to try not to make British people purchase.
As complaint, DSR (Detailed Seller Rating) of low evaluation,
and negative feedbacks of overdue delivery claim
do not increase against the background of such a situation.
eBay recommends you a measure not to sell to British people."
Can you believe that?
eBay was said in order to avoid a trouble and loss.
They recommend "You should block British buyers."
Again, You can see item description.
We showed you
"In the case of national emergency, terrorism,
or abnormal weather, EMS is needed.
In order to avoid these troubles, You should choose EMS.
EMS is required when we judge that if there has many troubles.
Italy, UK, Russia, China, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, South America,
Spain, Hungary, Mexico etc etc.
Sometimes Even Registered Priority mail is NOT available.
In order to protect national interest,
these countries may refuse import item or
may spend it on customs clearance for a long time.
Moreover, import item may be barred by such government policy."
I have to find out the safety of dealings from all the experiences.
Sometimes It may not to be reasonable cost for UK buyers.
However, I will demand the safest method,
when you purchase valuable item.
Because, many troubles are on UK shipping.
I continued investigating the structure
of a trouble of this sort, in order to explore
the cause of a trouble by which an item does not arrive.
I told such troubles to Japanese dealers and discussed it.
Japanese sellers have many troubles, when shipping to UK.
20 to 30 percent of Unregistered packages sent to
UK from Japan does not reach British customers.
The UK customs has the cause.
Japanese post office web showed such cause.
Sorry This web page doesn't have English service.
However, I translated into English.

On UK Shipping (CN23 is Customs Declaration. CN22 also)
In customhouse notice CN23,
you have to indicate minutely the quality,
the net weight, and the price of a contents article.
In a parcel with the items on which the parcel
and customs duty from which the statement of
customhouse notice CN23 and an actual contents article are
different may be imposed, it is considered that
what does not attach customhouse notice CN23 is what
broke the statute and was imported,
and it is confiscated by the customhouse.
CN22 showed that
The Undersigned, whose name and address are
given on the item, certify that the particulars given
in this declaration are correct and that this item
does not contain any dangerous article
or article prohibited by legislation or by postal
or customs regulations.
(1) In the customhouse notice CN23,
you have to indicate minutely the quality,
the net weight, and the price of a contents article.
In a parcel with the items on which the parcel
and customs duty from which the publication
of the customhouse notice CN23 and
an actual contents article are different may be imposed,
it is considered that what does not attach
the customhouse notice CN23 is what
broke the statute and was imported,
and it is confiscated by the customhouse.
(2) When it has the items with which
an ad valorem duty is imposed, an invoice must be
inserted and it must be indicated as
"Contient une facture" (mind of "invoice existence")
in the noted reliance side of a parcel.
(3) the case where import of items was
completely forbidden depending on the kind,
or special permission has been obtained as long as it is allowed.
Therefore, as for the sender, it is desirable to check
the following thing in dispatch of items.
recipient is the relevant authorities.
(The Department of Trade & Industry)
Have you obtained the published required permit
or can obtain aren't any permits needed.
The British customs tends to impose a tax severely
to the import parcels so that it may understand
by these description. Even if a Japanese seller does
cheap price declaration as British buyer's request.
The item is confiscated by them when the British customs
does not accept the price declaration of the item. Even EMS is so.
And the British post office is refusing the investigation request
from the Japanese post office by the Geneva agreement in Jan 2010.
The item may return to a Japanese seller or it may not return.
The period takes few months or will take more.
The Christmas present which I sent to my best friend in UK by EMS
on December 1st has returned to me on March 20th.
70 percent that the item arrives to the British customers.
We can say They are lucky.
This originates in the policy of the British government.
Probably their policy is terrorist prevention
and Adjustment of the British economy is intricately related.
A few months ago I read an article that
a UK postman was arrested because for 2 years
he had accumulated tons of mail in his house,
mail that he should have delivered but that instead it would put into
his car and take home. Why did he do that?
Not because he wanted to steal it,
but because he could not keep up at work.
he was too slow or too lazy and he didn't manage to
deliver it all on his shift!
This is just an extreme example,
but I could also tell you about other stories,
I heard that unusual trouble from Tokyo dealer.
This my friend sold the big-ticket record to a British buyer
on eBay before 2 years. The British buyer ordered him to
perform unregistered mail. However, the parcel did not reach
a British buyer and passed for over a month.
The British buyer became uneasy.
The British buyer made the claim on the Paypal.
The record which British buyer purchased then was listed by UK eBay.
My friend seller found this record on UK eBay.
My friend seller was writing the mark which only he understands
on the label of this record.
The record which he sold to the British buyer was listed by UK eBay.
However, the British buyer said that he had not received it.
This is a guess of Japanese sellers.
Some thief are in British post office, or British customs.
They are performing the organized crime.
Or the British customs sells at eBay the items
which they confiscated?
For example, 30 years ago John Lennon sent the letter
to Steve Tilston. that John encouraged Steve to make song.
John Lennon wrote to Steve Tilston in 1971 after reading
an interview with him in a music magazine.
In a note now revealed in public for the first time Lennon
told the young musician not to worry about accumulating wealth
because it wouldn't change the important things in life.
John Lennon signed the letter from him and Yoko Ono
just months after The Beatles split up in December 1970.
But The letter did not reach Steve Tilston.
However, this letter was dealt in at the auction and made 7000pound.
UK post office or a magazine office may be having stolen
the letter which John's sent. Whichever it made it,
they gave priority to their profits even by letter which
determines someone's lives.
It is very unhappy for the sender and a recipient.
I cannot believe that those who work for public service
do such a terrible thing
The national bond interests of "PIIGS"
(Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain) each country
which hold uneasiness in finances rise,
and Euro is also falling to US dollar and Japanese Yen.
Furthermore, the economy of Dubai is also getting worse.
The finances of "STUPID" (Spain, Turkey, UK, Portugal, Italy, Dubai)
also including non-Euro countries, such as UK and Turkey
are continuing getting worse.
That I observed is the mail trouble which those countries have.
Spain, UK, Portugal, and Italy have many mail troubles.
These countries may be carrying out cancellation disposal
of the import item periodically, in order to prevent financial aggravation.
It may be that a parcel does not reach buyers owing to it.
To be sure, service of the British post office is the worst.
However, restriction may be applied to the import item
of personal purchase by the policy of Britain.
It is related also to the new policy of eBay and Paypal.
They are going to protect British buyers.
Because, they know well that UK shipping has many troubles.
The trouble on the UK shipping is related to
the economy of Britain in conclusion.
UPU (Universal Postal Union) reported me.
UK and Japan post office have full marks on ratings of a contribution.
http://www.upu.int/members/en/members.html
However, why are there many troubles on UK shipping?
I found the conclusion.
That's right, the cause of a trouble by which
item does not arrive is finances of Britain.
If they do not collect many taxes,
they cannot revive the British economy.
I know, the finances of Britain are getting worse.
The sovereign risk of each country attracts attention taking
advantage of the Greek crisis.
They have a threat to import of Japanese products.
They are blocking the kind with various them,
when British buyers purchase an import item.
It is one of the policies of the British government not
to send Unregistered parcel to British buyers.
Just Japanese sellers suffer damage from it.
British buyers will receive refund by the policy of UK eBay.
US eBay already received administrative guidance
from the American government.
They received instruction from the government,
in order to keep national interest.
Probably, instruction is received from the British government,
in order that UK eBay may also maintain
the economy in Britain, though natural.
eBay New Policy is proving it.
Since the cause by which an item does not arrive was
related to the policy of Britain,
they determined British buyers' protection.
And it is greatly related also to Britain's election.
The British government is interfering
with smooth dealings of me and you.
We love UK but Many factors are between you and me.
And it tends to make unarrived trouble,
even when it is not fault of you and me.
I am trying hard in order to avoid it and to give you relief.
So I need your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely Tommy Takeuchi (Sales Manager / smile-lab)
