Another thing to look out for...It is a great post!<br /><br />Another thing to look out for is the size of the parcel - and this is for domestic post too. My flowers are light but custom orders sometimes have very long stems, if the length of the parcel is over 60cm it gets a whole lot more expensive to send. I too have taken a parcel back home to repack it because I didn't realise it was 1cm too long!Helen Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360142897304650781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530923214622231579.post-76801922232244033302012-03-04T06:34:09.678-08:002012-03-04T06:34:09.678-08:00I completely agree, if we get it wrong we have got...I completely agree, if we get it wrong we have got to just swallow it and learn for next time!

I always take my parcels to the post office but I do have a roll of customs lables at home which makes it quicker at the post office. I sold two framed pieces the other day to the US and packed them up at home using cardboard from a box. It was really sturdy and secure but was going to cost £35 to post!!! I bought a box from the post office and took it home again and re packed it. Cost me £22 in the end. A bit more than what the customer paid but I didn't mind. I would NEVER ask a customer to pay more postage after the transaction had gone through. It was just unusual to sell two framed pieces together.Aileen Clarke Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295960962493554673noreply@blogger.com
