We are doing online handicrafts sales from Malaysia. Most of our products are priced between USD 40 and USD 120. However, the shipping costs to the US and Europe are more than the product prices, and sometimes even double the product prices. I am allowing customers to choose either UPS or FedEx.
Volumetric weight is applied to most of our products.
I've noticed that a lot of handicraft sales are done within the US only, and the shipping cost is very low compared to the product price. Cheah Wai Loon, Malaysia One way to cut shipping costs to regions where you have significant sales is to set up an account with a fulfillment house in that region that will ship products for you. This may bring costs into line, though you'll be paying the duty to get the product into the country, not the purchaser.
