Hello.
So how many countries can we ship to now that provide our international customers with a tracking number when shipping via first class package service international?
Does Bonanza allow a bigger final value fee forgiveness for international shipping since it costs more to ship out of our own country?
I hate having to let the international shopper know that I have to charge extra percentage on the shipping because of this when they email about the item (not just here, mainly on eBay right now).
Thanks,
Sharon

Bigger shipping allowance for international….no..I have had to pay fees on 150.00 shipping of teddy bears to Australia before…as to how many countries any country essentially
For first class international a customs number is given..usually looks like this UA942242081US or in some cases LZ420937707US, I have used both.
This is not like the Priority tracking which scans to the door…but this number can be tracked to the borders of US and then using the recipients Postal service, they can track the package once it hits customs.
I have been using this option for years and have had no trouble with the buyer being able to track/receive their package. I have noticed that USPS now will also update delivery using the First class international custom’s number. This has not always been so, previously had to use the buyer’s destination PO to track the delivery (at least that is how I used to do it).
Though on occassion the number does not get Updated on the US side.. I have found this to be true with any international tracking option (except express)
I also now purchase the FCInternational on PayPal…at PO will cost a bit more
