Is it possible to send camera or a cell phone to another country?

Question

I have a Sony Ericsson W580i that i dont use anymore

so im planning to send it to my friend in El Salvador (central america) is it possible, how much does it cost, which courier?

Answer 1

It is possible

I have seen UPS and DHL trucks there. You also may have the option of counter to counter shipping through an airline that flys there.

While it is a nice gesture to send that nice of a phones the theft of phone is pretty common.

I know several people that have had them taken from the and all where upper end phones.

It might be better to send them some money and have them by a cheap prepay phone. You can get a pretty good one for maybe 60.00  and I think it will cost you way more than that to ship it though a reliable shpper, not the post office.

Good Luck

Answer 2

You can send a camera or a cell phone to another country.  However it will be expensive and it isn't necessarily guaranteed to arrive there.  Also, you should check to find out if your cell phone would work for your friend in El Salvador.  I live in Honduras and my cell phone from the US doesn't work there because the network is different.  Your friend could get the phone changed over, even if the network is different, but he'd have to check on the price because it could be expensive.  

As for prices, it will most likely be expensive to send your electronics.  You would probably want to choose a faster service or at least priority mail and you may want to insure it.  You should check with your local Post office or the UPS carrier in your area.  You can also go online to their websites, but in this case it would probably be better to talk to a live person so you can ask about things like security, insurance, cost, etc. to make your decision.  The websites are:  www.usps.com  and www.ups.com  

Good luck!
