HOW TO SHIP CANDLES INTERNATIONALLY | I Found The Cheapest Way!! (No one knows about this!)

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

This video is mainly about first class international shipping (under 4lbs) here is some information about international priority mail. I didn’t find anything cheaper for priority mail shipping, however if you are shipping something internationally that weighs over 4lbs I recommend to still use pirate ship and see what option is cheapest for you (you can also compare against flat rate shipping such as a padded flat rate envelope or medium flat right box) however priority is going to be very pricey regardless of what you use: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm USPS shipping price list: pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/Notice123.htm#_c419 International first class pricing calculator on pirate ship: www.pirateship.com/usps/commercial-plus-pricing To be able to use the simple export rate option on pirate ship, just send them a chat message when you’re logged into your pirate ship account asking them to active that option for you. It took me a few minutes. ❤️ Simple export rate information: www.pirateship.com/usps/simple-export-rate Simple export rate pricing sheet: (Scroll to page 24) assets.website-files.com/599a3bc9ab717100012d27e9/600c8c0be4b1d8b6fea295ce_Pirate%20Ship%20-%202021%20USPS%20Shipping%20Rates.pdf Simple export rate 55 approved countries: support.pirateship.com/en/articles/4854238-list-of-countries-with-full-tracking-for-simple-export-rate Pirate ship insurance: support.pirateship.com/en/articles/1068431-does-pirate-ship-offer-insurance USPS list of restricted items shipping internationally: www.usps.com/international/shipping-restrictions.htm

You are a godsend!!! Seriously I wanted to cry when I saw that a 3lb order was going to cost me $103!!!!!!! But thanks to you I've made a few changes and now it only costs $37!

Im wondering, did it ever send

[@amaninavan9712]

What changes did you make and where did you ship too?

[@satrina8127]

If you use essential oils and fragrance oils in your candles there are restrictions I think for international? Because it has flash points of combustion and should only be sent ground....not air. Im dealing with this right now but I'm in canada

Hey girl! Your videos have helped me so much and I have been watching all your formula videos over and over because I’ve been so confused on how much wax and FO to add. Recently I started making wax melts and I started making 6 small clam shells at a time using 10% fragrance oil, and I thought I did your formula right and my tarts smells amazing but I still had sooo much extra wax left over! I’m just feeling a bit discouraged and just wondering what you think I did wrong ? :(

[@keera51]

I looked into the Simple Export Rate, and it seems like you're actually not restricted to only the 55 countries you listed! Those are just ones that have full tracking provided all the way to the door. The simple export rate can still be used with the other countries, but tracking will just stop at the border.

[@respectfullysarcastic]

Do you need a label printer to do this or can I just print it on regular paper and tape it?

[@ZeineCharabati]

Thank you for all this info! Do you have any tips on how we can reduce/estimate the custom fees for customers in Canada? I did a few shipments there but customers had to pay a fortune in taxes (almost 70% of the value of the items). Thx!

[@tvhnee]

Thank you so much for this! I sell stickers and I wasn't going to ship internationally because who would want to pay $15 + shipping for stickers?! this reduced the price so much :)

[@skyyyskiii]

I’m in the same boat! So based off of the chart shown, is it really $8.49 to ship stickers to Canada and $10.49 for other countries? It still seems like a lot, but less than what Etsy calculated.

[@tvhnee]

@@skyyyskiii yep those are basically the prices! i agree that its a tad pricey but it beats anything else ive seen!

[@cutehellokittysparkles]

@@tvhnee is the simple export rate with asendia reliable? Do your customers, such as those from Canada, receive it? I've read some things about asendia but I'm not sure if I should ship internationally with them or with usps :(

[@visadiep8504]

How’s your experience sending packages that aren’t included in the 55 countries with full shipping? I’m sending a package to a friend in Argentina but it seems that the tracking will stop once it reaches the border. Do you know of other sites that include full tracking? 😞

I have to ship an item from Italy to USA and in the custom invoice i have to put my buyer ID number and now I am stuck, I did message the buyer but she is scared to give it to me and i can understand why, also etsy does not take customers phone number, email, and id number so I cannot put them in my invoice or shipping. How do you guys fill this customers invoice ? what do I do now? i did contacted etsy and asked them what should I do and how can i ship this item, and I am just waiting.

Hi Erica, I was looking for shipping international for a while and your video was amazing. I found a cheaper way to ship International and it really works out well. But I just want to ask a questions about the shipping. So it is a short story, I use simple rate to send items out to my sibling in Canada, but when it arrive to Canada USPS. They call her and ask her for import tax. So this didn't happen before and I was just wondering if it happen to you before. Thank you

i really want to love pirate ship (i only do domestic for now) but truthfully there's ususally virtually no difference in price from usps. was hoping to save more... is there something i'm doing wrong??? glad for those shipping internationally though! so glad you decided to share that info. you're the best!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

So just something to clarify about pirate ship: If you are using first class, regular priority or priority flat rate shipping then the prices will be the same as usps. The difference is being able to use priority mail cubic (only pirate ship offers this option) However, this option is not the cheapest for everyone in every situation, but it is available to those where it IS the cheapest option. Pirate ship will determine what will be the cheapest option for you depending on the dimensions and weight of your package and that's why I love it! And and of course finding out about the simple export rate was amazing too! I hope that clarifies it!

[@ericagiannantonio8820]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thanks for that! I didn't mean you were unclear...you did a great job as usual! I guess maybe depending on where you are or are shipping to it isn't too much difference sometimes.
