New to Etsy - Hi from NZ

Just opened up my shop on Etsy (FeeFiFoFum Crafts) - glad to have found a NZ team. Any hints on shipping from NZ to the US and UK ????

I have only ever shipped jewellery to the US and Canada. The only thing I can say is it gets quite expensive, my necklaces have cost approx $15 to ship to US & Canada and if you opt for insurance (which they often insist on) it can get even more expensive. Can't say I have ever shipped to UK.
Sorry I'm not much help

I try to factor in the cost of shipping into my prices. Make sure you'll still make a profit in the event of long distance shipping. Under-pricing your work can be a killer. On each of my listings I include a disclaimer that insurance is an optional extra at the buyers cost.

I got caught with the first sale, but i think the 1st shot is always a learning curb
