| I think we've done great with sales since we opened 22 days ago.
I'm interested in opening up our sales to overseas. I've recently, outside
of bricklink, shipped something to France. First time shipping overseas. Seemed
simple, went through UPS, had customs papers included on the outside. Everything
made it over, no problem.
So the questions:
*Is there countries to avoid?
*Is there some size package limits?
*Is there a website that makes international shipping easier?
I know that it would be best to invoice. Any other tips or tricks?

russia, ukraine, Germany (packing law), and australia/new Zealand have on several
occasions now had issues but they've been good for awhile.

Use Pirate Ship so you can send BrickLink's IOSS number electronically.

That's who I used for my shipment to France. Seemed to be helpful. Will look
into that.

Virtually all of my invoiced UK customers cancel. I'm considering removing
it from my list of countries. Complete time waste.
The always pick bulky items like instructions, boxes or full sets.
South Korean addresses are odd, and take some time to figure out, but I've
never had an issue with a buyer

If this started happening recently it might be because the exchange rate is in
the toilet.

It's mainly the last 2-3 years, basically post covid.
My international sales in general tanked around that time. I used to get multiple
orders a week at times, now I barely get one a month or two and usually now they
are Canada
