Local Shipping vs International Shipping for tangible products?

Do you ship your tangible products locally only or do you ship internationally too?

What are your reasons for this?

I am going to be sticking to shipping locally only simply because the postal service in our country is so unreliable it is a bad joke. Using a courier for door to door shipping internationally will work our incredibly pricey.

The other difficulty is that international customs and taxes are a bit confusing so I just want to stay away from all of those difficulties.

International shipping are very pricey. It depends as well to the country you wish to deliver your parcel. They have taxes and it should be checked by the immigration.

I think it depends on the cost of taking those goods from that country to the country of your resident. These are things you really need to consider, though I would have to take international shipping if it is cost effective.

A lot of people prefer international shipping even with the high taxes and a few difficulties encounter.I think I will go with international shipping, one get more sales and makes more money despite all of the fees and all.

As a seller sometimes of goods on ebay I ship locally only. I don't ship out of the country. Just too many things can go wrong. I know this because I've had things shipped to me internationally in the past and things have gone wrong. Including me not receiving the items at all. So I stick to U.S. shipping. I may ship to Canada one day but not anytime soon.

Well, first of all, it depends on what you want to ship across the country or abroad. If we are talking about plants, it is not as easy as you think. And to avoid damaging a plant on the way to your home, shipping companies like speedpak track are using special moistened and cooled containers. Such containers can keep the temperature at an average level no matter how warm or cold it is outside. So if you are interested, search more on the internet. I am sure you will find something exciting there.

In my opinion, both ways are good, but it depends on what perspective you look at or what business you have. Because local shipping is often chosen by small companies, which are based on the delivery of a certain type of products and have loyal customers in the country. In addition, they do not have the necessary transport to deliver the products abroad. On the other hand, international shipping is the basis of gigantic delivery companies, such as track package from china , which deliver anything from pens or toys to heavy trucks. It all depends on costs and of course on customers, the more, the better.

I advise you to think carefully about which company to choose. Especially if you have a valuable item. Consider delivery times and service quality. You can find out more about dhl delivery here.
