Welcome to the club. I think we all lose buyers once they find the cost AND shipping times.
The only quicker option is to travel to the USA and ship using USPS.
Or, do what I do, and DO NOT ship with tracking. You lose a few packages, and sometimes get screwed over by customers, but overall you make more sales than you lose money.

That's a tough one. I ship without tracking (CP Small Packet Air), typically to Germany, France, UK and even Russia. I've been lucky to date - knock on wood.
USPS is an option, but I'm not sure if even they are offering tracking at a reasonable cost anymore - plus if you take it there yourself, you still have to do the paperwork as if you are importing it into the USA for a USA buyer.

Tracking will do virtually nothing for you.....
Your stuff is light, perfect for small packet.
