Title: International Shipping from US - New Vendor
Post by: JeffBobb on May 24, 2013, 06:41 pm
New SR Vendor here - I would like to ship internationally, at least to the UK but am not sure about doing this, as I have never sent anything out of the country before.  If Im shipping just a normal envelope, will normal postage - stamps - work?  Or do I need to actually go into a post office and pay or do something special in there??  Any info will be helpful.  Thanks.

You should do a hellll of a lot more research before attempting to ship international, at your current state your customers would be at a great risk!
Don't just jump into international shipping, getting a solid plan/method before attempting this please, for the safety of our members. Thanks!

USPS does have flat-rate international shipping.
