Unless you are going to have a very complicated shipping charge list then you are going to have to work out averages for the most popular destinations. A lot will depend on the weight of the item being sent. As an example I have looked at some products being shipped from USA to UK and it made some products far too expensive to ship and keep the items at a viable price.

There are many things to consider along with the weight. Things like physical size, ease of packing and cost of packaging

From the USA you can just let SFI figure the cost of shipping at the time of the sale. The purchaser will know what that amount is at the time he hits the ORDER button.But you must submit the total weight of the object plus the packaging at the time you write the item description. Also TC does not add on the extras like insurance and tracking, so if you want to do that, then include them in your item price.

Shipping is expensive, but I have found that if the person wants your product,

Hello there,..

For information about Shipping Prices I always look at the website from the USPS ( ircalc dot USPS dot gov)

There you can calculate the average shipping prices per package and per country.

Also you can consider the option of taking the average shipping cost and add that to the normal buying price.. Tah will make the product a little more expensive but you can then advertise with "FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE" for example..

Well this is certainly apt and timely I guess the best bet to determine how much to price it both for the products and for shipping to sell it globally are as follow:

Do the necessary due diligence and market research for the targeted products vis a vis other similar listing on the Tripleclicks as well as other online stores like Ebay etc. and also remember to weigh it and pack it safely with the lightest material available.

As for how much to offer for shipping it's best

The real challenge when figuring out your shipping strategy is determining a solution that cuts into your profit as little as possible yet remains attractive to your customers.

1. If you decide to offer free shipping this will require you to either absorb the cost or slightly increase your prices to cover it.

2. Another option is flat rate shipping, figure out your average cost of shipping a package to make sure that you don't drastically undercharge or overcharge your customers.
