hi :) it is always risky to send to many countries, including those you mentioned, but it often happens that people disappear and don´t register stamps even if they lived eg. within europe. i have also had mail lost eg. to italy several times. sending registered mail may help to some places -in Finland that is very expensive option though. i would confirm the address if it seems in any way not sufficient ...by contacting the member. in private -to countries like india- i have sent an exchange in 2 or 3 envelopes waited til the first one arrives before posting the second ...to avoid losses ^^
