The distance is a factor for sure but cost of shipping is my biggest concern. I have a fellow in Norway that wants a set of walking beams. Canada post looks to be around $20 for shipping. Thinking they might strike I checked with UPS for a quote. $121 to send a padded envelope! DHL was $93 for the same! No one is going to pay that which leaves me not being able to sell an item that many people want! Crazy! Maybe it's just me but I don't think the postal service should be able to strike 100%. That's just from a personal standpoint let alone how much my business might suffer... I guess I've always been self employed and never a fan of union power...
