Wow, it's already March...crazy! Thanks for keeping an eye on my new blog, the Snail Mail Shipping Guide. I hope my last post about international shipping helped you gain confidence in shipping overseas. It will open you up to millions of potential customers!! There are other tips on international shipping I'd like to share that I didn't quite fit into the last post. One topic is restrictions; some countries restrict certain items to enter their country. For instance, Italy (a country notorious for losing packages) doesn't allow hats into their country.
When you use the Postage calculator on the USPS website, after entering the country and weight and clicking continue, click on the link above the table that reads, "Price Charts and complete information for (the country you entered)". It will give you a list of items not allowed into the country. These can also be a comical read... This will save you time and money if you know that a item you sell is not allowed in a country that you're shipping to.
There's also helpful information on pricing, customs forms, size limits, extra services and more if you scroll down the page.
I hope this nugget of info was helpful!
