SHIPPING METHODS
There are 7 shipping rate areas, and by default their shipping rates are:
USA: $12
Mexico: $20
Canada: $20
Europe: $35
Asia: $35
Australia/New Zealand: $35
Everywhere Else: $40
You can set up your own advanced shipping rates, but it can be slightly complicated to initially set up, please contact us if you wish to change your default rates to be sure they are calculated correctly. For international orders from the US, we recommend using PirateShip Simple Export Rate, as you can ship most items anywhere for under $30.
If you just have certain items that are larger or heavier than your standard items that you need to charge more shipping for, the best way to do that is adding in additional shipping on the individual product. When creating a new product, select Shipping properties on the product, and input an amount in the Additional shipping field and then Save. For example, if you are using the default shipping rates and you enter $5 in the additional shipping for a product, a US buyer would be charged $17 for that item. ($12 default plus $5 additional).
