Hi guys, recently i started to sell some diecast models on ebay, sometimes, some international buyers would come and ask about shipping cost for international parcel service, i went through websites of auspost and dhl, however, the price they charged for 1.7KG parcel is staggering, almost 70$-90$ for EU areas and at least 44$ for NZ..... which would derail my international sale.....so what kind of service do you guys recommend for overseas parcel (1.5-2KG)?  cheaper is  better, better come with tracking service.

Those prices sound about right. You are unlikely to get anything cheaper, especially with some usable form of tracking.

 

If your potential customers really want the things and your overall price is good from their perspective, or you are the only supplier, then they will be willing to pay the postage.

 

Just remember eBay take FVF on postage, so add a bit to cover that.

Yep those rates are about the go. Planes need fuel and they need to fly safely. Neither are cheap. Nor is selling on ebay. Welcome to 25/08/2016
