I think that lighter packing is a good idea, lighter boxes perhaps. GREAT feedback from beadrecipies- THANK YOU! I think communication is key here. I added to my little note about shipping that if there is anything else I can do to make it easier for international shippers to please let me know. You have some really good points about it just being over the weight or not for the next price bracket. Unfortunatley for me, I often don't know the exact weight until I am at the post office. its something to think about though. stacilouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337978880639296378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-17735030155291791652013-01-31T20:08:20.963-05:002013-01-31T20:08:20.963-05:00Ughhhh!

I just sent one out yesterday, so I will find out if it got there ok...USPS is getting pretty pricey..but whats the alternative?Mystic Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819788891906071402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-72005062603122901172013-01-31T18:31:40.502-05:002013-01-31T18:31:40.502-05:00As an international buyer of artist beads, I have ...As an international buyer of artist beads, I have to say I will probably change my buying habits somewhat, but I won't stop buying! Sellers may need to revise their packaging, to make it as small and light as possible, while still protecting the beads.<br />Maybe on orders that are likely to be heavy, it would be worth the buyer/seller having a convo to work out weight -- I'd hate to be just over the weight limit to put me into a higher postage rate -- I'd rather add something to or take something out of the order, or have the seller pop a little extra in to make it worthwhile. <br />The one good thing I see from the changes is that tracking will soon be available for international mail!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-78053679531503880152013-01-31T13:56:40.691-05:002013-01-31T13:56:40.691-05:00Oh geez!

Someone in the Etsy forum was talking about how too many refunds--including postal overages--will now trigger some kind of account freeze. It's got me worried. Does anyone know more about this?Libellula Jewelry™https://www.blogger.com/profile/00085261168453003357noreply@blogger.com
