I am wondering how the businesses that ship over seas do it. The bit coin economy is an international economy but the requests I have had from potential customers invariably makes it cost prohibitive to sell to them. Most of the time the shipping costs are higher than the product price. If you ship overseas what service do you use?

I do some shipping overseas via ebay but this is all done via local post office.  It is rather pricey.  Maybe if you are getting large regular orders from certain countries you should look to make contacts who can receive a large one time delivery and then post out for you on each order for this country.

I think u may try out DHL. Also checking the carriers for eBay & Amazon may give u a rough idea.

That is not a bad idea. If volume supports it that might the the way to go. Thanks!

DHL seems to be the preferred carrier for shipping from overseas. I will take a look. Thanks!
