Trusted shipping forwarder from USA to Portugal?

A potential buyer in Portugal wants to buy my guitar, but I only ship in the US. Other buyers have gone through shipping forwarder, where I shipped to a buyer at the forwarder's US address, and they would sent it to the buyer.

Do you know a trusted forwarder that my buyer could contact? Obrigado!

New from dealer blem - How bad could it be? UPDATE

I took a chance on a new in box Takamine guitar marked as blem. The dealer was taking 20% for the blem. They did not have a photo as they said the box was sealed. I asked if it was stamped "blem" or "second" and they said no.

The guitar arrived in perfect condition. It was not a blem at all.

Some people responding said that the seller was selling it new at a discount just to move it and the blem title avoids MAP pricing.

I am very happy with how this turned out.

(The photo shows window glare. The finish is perfect.)

Why are some languages written right to left?

Hebrew, Arabic and some Persian languages are written right to left even though 90% of people are right handed. Isn't more difficult for most people to write that direction?

Yesterday I saw a left handed man writing something out on paper with his left arm bent around awkwardly. It made me think of this question.

New from dealer blem. How bad can it be?

I am interested in a guitar and there is a dealer with a stock of new in box blems that sells for a 20% discount. I messaged the seller for a photo or a description of the blem, but he said it is a sealed box. It would be a cosmetic issue, but it could also be invisible.

I would like to save money, and I don't demand perfection if the guitar works and sounds good. Do you have any experience with blems. How bad can it be?

How many car crashes was Tony Soprano involved in?

Major plot points involve Tony and car crashes. How many cars got damaged because of him? A few Escalades at least. Can we name them all?

Question about posessive pronouns

In English, we refer to parts of the body with posessive pronouns eg "my hands are dirty." But in Spanish, it is "las manos estan sucias," as long as it is understood that I am referring to my own hands.

But what about our posessions? Is it "donde estan las llaves" or "mis llaves"?
