Auctions and courier services. Please
 

Please help us, as professionals and layman. I'm trying to establish a system of purchase from Moscow (excluding travel) for various small German, French, Belgian auctions all the small pleasant things - such as graphics, nameless old masters, and all of this.
Encountered several difficulties, namely: auction houses through its partners are not averse to organize shipping (including customs declaration and packaging), but ask for it nemerennoe dough. As someone who has repeatedly bought on Ebay the same thing at the individuals, I know that this is so not worth it.
For example: in Germany, I was asked to arrange sending a small picture with Fedeksom for 260 euro - for the thing with the estimate: 300. Usually it is not worth more than 40-50 euros. For big things - about 80, well, a hundred maximum.
The question is. Encountered anyone with a similar problem and how to solve it? Is there, for example, courier services, which were taken to such a task (including the paper they are even presented to the customs, in our I see what's what) and would not fight for it millions? Maybe not really find any intermediaries, which for small cache would be doing it as individuals. In one word: help! Thank in advance!

Is it only your friends will get to such trouble and for "small cache. :)

Call the company, ask them:

IrinaC, and the firm itself will be lots purchased at auctions to pick up? ;)

ledandy,
The auction will not execute your purchase as a purchase from a private individual. Repeatedly asked about it in small auctions, but always got rejected. So that taxes in Russia will pay in full, with the amount of invoice.
I entrusted the delivery and customs clearance of their cargo company DHL. It's more expensive than the same FedEx, but delivery to the regions without problems and limitations on the amounts. If you prefer, you can obtain accreditation in the DHL and then be able to independently, without involvement of delivery services auctions, send them a courier for the goods and pay for everything directly in Russia, together with all customs duties and taxes. All zamorochki with their customs accepts the auction itself, if it really meets their status.
This works fine when it comes to expensive purchases. If the value of small things, then I use the USPS, especially for delivery from the United States. Here the cargo comes through EMC-Mail of Russia. But still - to the consignment auction is making invoice with a fully specified amount paid by you and Russia will still take 18%tax on the amount exceeding $ 300 (if not mistaken), but the delivery is less than the above-mentioned services.

5 000 rub., Ie 5 v. pp. 1 cop. already 18%tax for unaccompanied goods.
I also send DHLom, but private individuals, friends.
No, we should look up to the fact that "Beyond the Sea heifer - mite, but ruble transportation" ...: D

Yes, like so. Have not bought up to 5000 rubles. : D
DHL is more expensive but safer, than let's say FedEx, which does not deliver the goods in the Southern region with the assessment above 100 $: eek:

So familiar you write and 100 rubles. : eek: They've already sent you a gift. For our custom, they are the sender. : D

They wrote and $ 50 and $ 100, and wrote that the gift, but the customs still reveal the parcel and if they see that the goods have no means corresponds to the specified amount of assessment, then wrap back to the sender. So the evaluation must be certainly low, but within reasonable limits. Well or goods should cost about as much:)

How did they "are turning back to the sender? : D
In Moscow, customs reveal the obligatory pictures and photographs already sent to the customs post at the place of residence of the recipient.
Yes, customs isteriruyut when they see pictures of the customs value of 1 250 rub., For example. : mad:
But the question resolves itself the recipient of 3 min. officially. Provided and such a procedure. :)
However, Customs does not talk about, but know their rights (and responsibilities) necessary. : p
