Shipping to Southern Italy is a gamble | Payments and Shipping

I should say upfront that I’m from Southern Italy, so far be it from me to be a cheap rac...ist.Unfortunately, I have to complain that shipping to Southern Italy is a disaster in most cases.Since I started selling on this platform, the only problems I’ve had have been shipments to the southern regions. Packages sent to those areas often disappear, never reach their destination, and don’t even come back.Now, I understand that my experience may not be representative, but I doubt that Poste Italiane is unaware of these issues. Honestly, I’m tired of having to keep refunding customers who - obviously, not because of them - don’t receive what they paid for. So I’d say I no longer want to lose money and goods because of an obvious failure of the postal service or its crooked employees who don’t do their job.I advise those who live in the southern regions to buy with tracked shipping. However, this also creates a hassle for sellers, because prices have to go up and people don’t always buy if they see shipping costs that are too high.
