Shipping, Postage and Handling for Small Businesses
Shipping your items is an important part of running a craft business. Getting a good shipping policy can help you to build a successful business.
Find out more about what shipping options are available to you and how you can use your shipping policy to develop your business. International shipping, for instance, is not as difficult as it sounds and it literally opens up the world as your market place.
Pricing your shipping is also essential. A craft business that just sells handmade earrings may have little difficulty as the weight of their products will generally be the same and they can be sent by standard delivery methods.
Makers who have a wider range of products, however, may have to use alternative shipping methods and apply different delivery pricing depending on the products being sold.
