Because we have just recently noticed an increase in small dollar value, international orders, we have re-introduced “USPS First Class International” service to the website. This will add a less expensive alternative for small, international orders compared to USPS Priority International service. This service will come with drawbacks though. This method is a Air-Mail type, that uses the recipient’s national postal service to complete the delivery. Shipping transit times are very long with this method being that it is a not a priority delivery method. Due to the lengthly transit time (~4 weeks) for this service, we have restricted the cart sub-totals to $60 or less with this shipping type. We will monitor the success of this shipping method and determine, based on timeliness, and number of follow-up communications we receive from customers, if this shipping method could be used for higher value orders.
USPS First Class service is restricted to 4lbs or less and cannot be a “large”, dimensional item. There is no tracking with this shipping type beyond a final delivery confirmation, so we will not be able to provide am “in-transit” tracking updates.
Please consider these “draw-backs” when you are determining what shipping type to use. Let us know what you think of this service.
