Hey all,
I ship out a ton of 4 oz DVDs using Stamps.com and the USPS. Shipping in the US has gone up about 10% in the last 5 years. That's understandable and my margins can easily support this.
International shipping has skyrocketed though. For example, it used to cost $5.50 to ship to Canada and now it's over $9. UK is used to be in the $8 range and now it's $12.65.
I can't keep jacking up the shipping fees for the buyers because at a certain point it just won't be worth it for them.
Does anybody know any lower cost options or strategies for international shipping?
