Anyone who ships internationall and who ships by different ways knows if is impossible to post all the possible shipping charges upfront. Usually one or two choices are posted. At the end of sale, customers will frequently ask for a different shipping method or extra service, e.g, overnight shipment. At Checkout, there is not a "blank" shipping charge box that can be filled either by the buyer (after being notified of the shipping charge of the new charge) or by the seller who can fill in and send the WBN invoice. This feature will definetely be very convenient for both sellers and buyers as currently if the shipping charge is different than the one(s) pre-filled, the buyer can not use Checkout and seller can not manually modified it.

Hi volksphoto,
Thank you for your suggestion, we will be sure to pass it along for evaluation. In the meantime, we are considering adding some international shipping options. Can you tell us what the most commonly requested shipping methods are for international orders?

Almost without exception, individual international shipping is via USPS. Commercial carriers such as UPS or Fedex may incur the "brokerage fee" for Customs clerance. This brokerage fee is not the same as duties which many countries do not charge for individual packages.
