Quite frankly, USPS has it&#8217;s benefits, it&#8217;s cheap, but it&#8217;s not reliable. International shipments are where things really fall apart. There are notices all over the website and customer emails, international shipments take anywhere from 3-8 weeks. Why? Because of customs. USPS first class has the lowest priority through customs, and it&#8217;s held up for weeks, sometimes 2 months. It&#8217;s not fair to customers, but I&#8217;ve been stuck between a rock and a hard place, until last week.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m partnering with DHL-Express E-Commerce where domestic reliability will triple. On top of that, International shipments will also dramatically improve. I&#8217;m told international shipments take anywhere from 4-8 days. We&#8217;ll see if we hit those marks when we enter into the program, however, I&#8217;m confident as I exclusively use DHL-Express for all distributor international shipments where speed and reliability is unmatched.<\/p>\n<p>Rates should also decrease as well.
