Hi All,
So today's topic i'm researching.
I currently sell video games but only within canada. I send economy lettermail - 3.60 total no tracking. What is the equivalent service if i wanted to start sending to the US? No tracking needed, just cheapest method.
I notice that you use tracked packet to the US for most of your items. You might want to consider using small packet for your items under a certain dollar value. Even though the cost of postage and cost of item aren't technically connected, buyers do tend to shy away from a $5 or $10 item with $23 shipping. We don't have as much of a choice on how to send things within Canada but we do for the US and since we are competing with US sellers who can ship fir less, it might be with taking a bit of a risk if you are comfortable doing so.
You can add a small amount to your shipping price as 'cookie jar insurance' so that if one item does get lost, you can make up the loss with the 'insurance' on other items that didn't get list.
