Shipping to the US - what affordable solutions?
I am keen to start selling in the US but the shipping costs and shipping speed are a problem as my items are low value and the shipping will therefore be a major percentage of the cost.
I ship postal tubes, 40cm long and also parcels 60cm x 50cm x 5 cm @1.4KG. In the USA they aren't quite as used to getting things next day as we are over here so if I could get some kind of 3 day service then maybe it could work. They are also used to paying $20-$30 for shipping if it isn't postal, but I am not going to be able to match that I don't think.
Any ideas? It's handmade so can't FBA.

Unfortunately, I cannot advise you in your specific case, but maybe other sellers would share some comments using their experience.
