International shipping goes Way Way Way up in 2013!


So it is a new year and that means new postal rates! International shipping rates skyrocketed this year so before I deliver the bad news, I want to start off with a nice comment about the shipping from a customer in Sweden.
Me:
"...Sorry the shipping is so expensive!..."

Customer in Sweden who just paid $23.95 to ship for 6 bars of soap:
"Hi Erin! Thanks for setting this up for me :) Don't worry about the shipping, your products are so worth the money even with increased shipping prices! And it feels great to buy things from a real person :) it's not very easy to find great handmade products that lives up to my expectations here in Sweden, so I'm very happy that I found Naiad to make my showering so much more enjoyable <3>

  2. Your customer from Sweden is so sweet! Though the increase in shipping fees has been troubling you, the comment definitely lifted your mood and inspired you to create more good-quality products. The shipping might be costly, but the customers will know that what they spent is worth it when they receive the items in good condition. Renea Luong
