Hello! Thank you for the compliments! I do not know how much it costs. For something small it is probably 20 - 30 USD. The problem for me to try to ship from my store is because my store is considered a business. There are SO many rules in place for businesses that have huge fines if they are not followed. For example, much of the EU has a program called LUCID. This program lowers the cost of shipping for businesses who use recycled, eco-friendly, and easy to recycle packaging. That's wonderful! And I do use those things! However, I have to register my business into the program and have my materials approved or I will be fined. The process is difficult for me because I am a business of just one person, and only have one government tax number. The LUCID program wants several different business numbers to register and I don't have those! Ha! There is also VAT, and all the different Tariffs to work with. And, as a business, I have to create and have available all the different privacy policies for each country that wants one. And those are just the things I know about - I am sure there are so many more rules for business shipping! I would have to ship things as a friend, rather than through my Etsy online store, and I'm sure my post office could help me with that! :)
