Very thorough and easy to follow. I have shied away from international shipping my entire adult life with no one to show me, didn’t think I would be able to understand or do it thank you. *

Thank you so very much for this. I have to send a package to New Zealand to a winner for my YouTube channel and I've never sent anything outside of the US much less thought about what I have to do. I appreciate your details for us. I'm less anxious now.

I did Usps International from usps . I didn’t do custom form . It was 4.5 oz. From Maryland to Ireland . It is going to PA distribution and took 4 days . I am assuming from PA they will send to Ireland . Good luck to me. Any experience and knowledge is appreciated .

Hi thank you so much for the video! I tried recently mailing a priority international small rate flat box with the customs formed filled out online however the clerk at the P.O said that I needed a different box. I’m really confused

Nice video!

Hi there, great video. We want to start offering shipping to Canada but being a family owned business with no experience this has been something we have struggled with. My question is, can we use our own boxes to ship to Canada like we do into the US through USPS? Does Shopify have all the forms available through their shipping features? We use Shopify, and there is nothing on YouTube explaining how to do it on shopify. This could be something you can do a video for, just a suggestion. Again thank you for the info. And great replies as well. Very engaged. That made me subscribe. Thank you

Informative and easy to understand videos! I may be moving from New York, USA to Tokyo, Japan and was trying to determine the best way to ship additional clothes and shoes to Tokyo, Japan after I arrive. I'm estimating it'll be around 50-65 pounds. I don't care about the speed. What do you think would be the cheapest method to do this? Thank you
