Shipping Outside the USA

If you are shipping items up to four lbs. it is cheaper to send it air letter post.  This includes packages too.  If your package is over four lbs. you must use Global Express or Global priority custom forms. 

You only need to fill out a simple PS Form 2976 and stick the green part on the package.  You turn in the white part signed to the Post Office.  Each form has a separate custom number for tracking and to email your customer.  It only takes a minute to fill these simple forms out.  You get these at the post office for free.  I always keep a pile in my shipping supply drawer.  Another advantage is the package will be delivered faster, from my experience.  The reason is there is less formality and filing of customs documents in the customs processing of air letter post packages.

Increase Sales

If you quote most eBay customers the global priority rate, you will likely loss the sale.  Here is an example of a 4 lbs. package from Florida to London Ontario:

Air letter post $16.35
Global Priority $19.00

A savings of $2.65

For other countries you will save even more on each shipment.

Save on USA Shipments

With heavy order 3 lbs. and up use flat rate priority boxes and its only $8.10 per package regardless of weight.  When we can ship 7 or 8 lbs. of tea priority flat rate, that's a fantastic savings.  A regular 8 lb. priority box from Florida to California is $12.05.  That's a savings of $3.95.
