I would love to be able to ship international but it's so expensive. Even within the US it's bad enough. Any ideas?
For me international shipping isnt worth the effort and time. After losing a good amount of money by having material I ordered from Japan. pilfered, I wont do it. Half of an order years ago was removed, box was repackaged and sent on it's way. Beside my goods being very heavy, and having enough sales here in the U.S. to keep me going, I'll just keep it this way... If you do it I sure hope it works out well for you.
I've had a couple of easy sales to Europe, but they are far a few between because the cost for shipping will make someone think twice before buying. To ensure that the package is going to make it and depending on the size of the shipment, it can ring up a few bucks more for a parcel. So I've cut it from all my sellers venues. Hopefully the prices will come down, but I'm not holding my breath.
Prices come down ? That aint gonna happen Also...when you consider U.S. Priority mail (in my opinion) supplies the boxes, tape, and labels, it's actually not a bad price to ship Priority Mail. Take a look at what shipping boxes, labels and tape is going for now..
