Hello,
I've partnered with a manufacturer that is currently based in the United Kingdom (I'm in Canada) to sell fashion-related items. I don't think I'll have any problems selling to people in the U.K and in Europe since shipping costs are very low. However, they charge a massive 40$ USD to ship to any other countries such as the U.S and Canada and another 50$ for very distant countries like Australia.
Should I give up trying to sell to those people? I've clearly specified the shipping costs on my website but I doubt that is gonna make a difference. I've thought about increasing all of my product's prices but quickly realized that would be ridiculous especially for a newly established brand with little to no recognition. My prices go from 30 to 120$ CAD.
I can barely make any profit from a sale (around 10$) if I'm shipping to these countries. If someone in e-commerce has already faced that sort of issue, I would greatly appreciate any help and advice.
Thank you
