International Shipping for Private Sellers

As I understand it Private Sellers will no longer be able to choose their shipping methods on international sales which is  shame. I found UPS to be brilliant £17.99 and would get there in just a few days - I forget the limit of the weight but it was quite substantial. Global Shipping Programme is easy but way more expensive and again messes up combining items. It's been a while since I used it but I suspect it's slower too. Parcelforce was the worst though weeks to get anywhere.

International Shipping for Private Sellers

At the weekly chat with community staff they were asked:

 

Will we still be able to sell internationally after Simple Delivery becomes mandatory using labels purchased ourselves from Royal Mail for example?

 

And the reply was:

 

You will be able to send international items as normal but SD is available for GSP items for the first leg of transit to the UK Shipping Centre.

 

So that sounds like we don't have to use SD for international sales as long as we don't use GSP.   Not sure how that will work in practice though.
