Shipping recommerce / resold goods internationally
There is a huge interest in international shipping of these goods. But the high costs of international transport can limit the potential of reaching a global audience. For small shipments of low value, the best (lowest cost) option is usually via the local post office. For larger or high value items, economy express can be the best option.
Many sellers are seeking alternative shipping to those recommended on the various platforms. One option for international orders is to ship to an address in Canada or US for consolidation and shipping.
