westcoast_dave Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is bad news for any online sellers selling internationally. So to ship one marble to Canada will now cost $13.50 according the new USPS 2016 rate increases. It used to cost $7 (roughly). I think this may be the end of international marble sales at least for sellers selling low priced items. Will international buyers still want to buy a $10 marble that costs $13 to ship?

Steph Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yikes! I already was shy of selling internationally. But yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I am selling to international buyers regularly. Buyers mostly are concerned of prompt delivery rather than cost even on a $10 to $50 dollar marble. It will effect things but not dramatically.

ann Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I find myself thinking twice before buying from a Canadian seller because of the high postage rate ($13 - $15), but that might be a good thing. But in the end, it's never stopped me from buying a marble I really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
