This all sounds good, and we in fact used to offer less expensive shipping options - but even the folks that will say "I accept the risk if the package gets lost" always seem to change their minds when the package actually gets lost, and I have lost $thousands from credit chargebacks, etc.

This is the CYA part of business that is so unfortunate but so necessary. Unfortunately what people say and what they do is seldom ever the same. I don't blame you Mike, I would never ship anywhere internationally without insurance and full tracking, it's just not worth the risk on either end.
Mike, if you're interested, I can get you in touch with my brother about international shipping options. He has vast experience in this and ships door to door to Iraq as well as many others. While he is just a broker and probably won't handle it himself (he mainly does things by the container load), he can probably help steer you in the right direction or at least show you some other options.
PM me if interested.
One thing I know you can do is check out DHL, while their US shipping is not on the level of UPS or Fedex, they own it internationally and carry the best reputation and pricing.
