International shipments to USA are quick! Any thoughts on Europe/UK?

[jellybirddesigns]

I had turned off international shipping last year around April, but reinstated it for the USA at the beginning of Feb. I subsequently had 3 orders and they have all taken only 9-10 business days, which is super quick, considering things!

I'm glad to have some of my international buyers back as they accounted for around 30% of my business before Covid.

I'm now toying with opening up again to my European buyers. I used to only send to a few countries such as Germany, the UK, and a couple of other Northern European countries - is anyone sending there with relative ease, or is Europe/UK still in the hard basket?

As you know I don't sell, I do buy and my daughter does both, and neither of us had any problems with delivery times within Aus after the initial COVID lockdowns. I was actually amazed, even over Christmas things were arriving within days, we were both very impressed.

In saying that she is still waiting on something from Canada, purchased in December, not expensive so not too worried and tracking is showing.

Over all I think most delivery services coped well. Hope it continues to go well for you jellybird
