Some of my customers claim Global Post is not very reliable, however so far we have not heard of anyone not receiving their package. Having to figure this out on our own is not the best way to handle the situation.Īs it is, the customer believes that they are getting the package through USPS, where in fact it is not. I believe this is better than Shopify not allowing a customer to place an order if the Shopify carrier cannot ship to their country (USPS in this case), however it seems that some sort of notification to sellers from Shopify, with a workaround solution would have been appropriate.
We do this through, as they offer Global Post through their interface. We dont recommend ever using this carrier rate as your only rate. So if you are using an address that is in the same or neighboring state as your ship from postal code, it will not show. This rate only shows when the shipping distance within the US is far. Just a quick follow-up, most of you probably know that you can send the package via Global Post, so we have had to manually process these orderes outside of Shopify. This rate only shows when the weight is 13oz or under.
