Cost of International Shipping!
I know that postal services globally are struggling to stay afloat but I am personally aghast by what New Zealand Post has just initiated.Without getting overly complicated, they have changed the way they structure shipping weights
Previously, there was a minimum weight of 100 grams, followed by 100 gram increments right up to 500 grams
They have kept the weight to the 100 gram as it has been (which does suit most of my products, as they are small) BUT everything over that weight, which includes Grans' Remedy, (weighing in, once packaged at a measly 104 grams,) will now cost $20 to send to the USA!! 4 grams is about 3 sheets of A4 paper.
I believe this will impact negatively on sales, and I predict that I will probably not be selling this terrific product for much longer.
There will be many companies within New Zealand who are penalized by this change, some I can think of, may be put out of business!
I fail to see how this can be good for anybody, including NZ Post if postal usage is slowed even further by these crippling charges!
