Then make sure during checkout that you select that as your delivery address.
I'm not sure the seller really cares what GSP is costing you. They sell $5000 diamond items, and probably default all their listings to Global Shipping Program. Because it would be costly to accidentally forget if someone bought an expensive ring and the delivery charge showed $10 and didn't come with international tracking. I know it sucks, but there are workarounds like COMC is giving you.

It is not Global they use, surprisingly, but you're likely right about the diamond aspect of things. That never even crossed my mind.

That is good to know about Comc. When I get back to buying, I think I will try and use that option.

Thanks again!

Likely they are not very interested in selling their cards outside the United States, but will if you are willing to pay for the service they suggest.

Best to just move on.

Some heavier, bulkier or more expensive items I will put a crazy price in there for International shipping based on an Expedited Service and taking into account Insurance, other expenses and peace of mind, hoping to discourage International bidders.

Sometimes they will still bid on it.

COMC - not exactly user-friendly.

Plenty of competition out there.

I shop elsewhere.

I wasn't telling Irv about buying on comc, I was telling him to use their freight forwarding service, acting as a middleman to provide non-US people with a US shipping address. He already knows I suggest he buys cards on comc. :-) here's the link to the service.
