Fine talk about quality shipping and stuff BUT shouldn't we the consumer have a choice between crap shipping and high end shipping (some people are prepared to take the risk)?

P.S. Not a rant..i'll probably get something high end anyway to justify the shipping cost.
well, headroom staff member Ivy made a response in this thread stating that if you want you can use USPS but you have to email through for a quote. I think this is a good setup.

Obviously though you must waive all responsibility from headroom should the item be damaged/lost in transit. Perhaps follow up on this if you're still interested in those phones.

For instance, I got a pair of phones today with box and good packaging USPS priority international - $13, and it took less than a week to get here. However, if things did go bad I wouldn't be able to blame anyone but myself for being tight on shipping. Usually things work out ok, but when they don't you really wish you had chosen insured/registered.
