Hi all, not strictly speaking a jewellery related topic but once you've made your work you've got to get it to your customer and this is something that's been giving me more bother than it should do lately!
For those of you who sell internationally, who do you use to ship overseas?
I had been using parcelhero (an agent giving you the choice of all the big names). They were relatively cheap and seemed to be pretty good until I had a string of items lost in transit. Their customer service is poor (read absolutely shocking - genuinely beyond belief!) and was enough to make me look elsewhere.
I've since tried Parcel Monkey & iPost Parcels but a similar theme here (the latter doesn't even appear to have any means of contacting them if you experience an issue).
Trouble is now that a lot of these agents don't have the best customer service and when things go wrong and you've got a customer worrying that their wedding ring isn't going to arrive with them in time the last thing you need is more trouble from the shipping agent.
I did have a (admittedly very quick) look at getting an account with FedEx however looking at their rates section it would appear that unless I'm shipping large volumes then their prices are very high (£80 for a package to the US).
So, who do you guys use and why?
