Hey, i’ve set up a test shipping option that listed Belgium for you. Can you check if it shows for you?
Actually, I can’t see your entry, Also I cannot list other countries and nether in a different browser. Tested chrome,firefox and internet explorer. Weird. I do not have special settings of anything I am aware of that can cause any troubles
Let’s take the discussion offline. I’ll email you.
Hi @JF43FR can you try it again, we just updated a fix for your issue.

I set up my shipping with the “per order” option, and I stopped showing shipping as an option. I switched it back to the legacy option, and I still don’t show as offering shipping.
Shows you ship when I look at your hub…
I just switched it back to legacy. Perhaps there was a propagation delay for the setting. Thank you for checking for me.
Previously I had set up the new style shipping as soon as we were notified. This morning it still wasn’t showing that I offered shipping.
Hi Shaun,
We’ve seen this happen some times when the back-end call to save the options gets interrupted, it talks to the old part of our website so it takes a bit longer.
Glad to see you managed to figure it out, I just checked and you showed up for shipping.

Hello everyone,
i think the new delivery options are great!
After my first few deliveries, i figured out a standard pricing system anyway, in order to quickly tell the customer what the total cost will be.
This way my customer will get this information right away in the order process.
In the end it always has to be some kind of estimate. If you aim to low, you wont make profit. If you aim too high the customer will feel tricked.
This way the customer knows up front what to expect. I think it makes things easier and especially faster. In this business time is Money.
best regards

Just from experience, Canada post wanted 9$ for a particular part and box to be shipped to the US but it was just before the potential strike so my usual postal lady advised I go elsewhere. I ended up shopping UPS who wanted 96$ for next day shipping, 87$ for two day and 68$ for three day. The cheapest I got was 32$ for seven day. Mind you this was a 200g part in a 12CMx12CMx12CM box. Shipping rates are all over the place anymore. A flat rate in my opinion is an awful idea.
A tip: I’ve read that padded envelopes are sometimes better to ship in than a small box, as they take less of a beating due to how they are handled.
Your box was on the larger end, but keep that in mind for the future.
Also: Purolator was a bit less than UPS, last I looked. Did you check them out?
No that day purolator was closed and they were my only option. Also, that box was by no means large, it literally fit in the palm of your hands. I can understand if the box was like a foot by a foot and weighed 10lbs that they would charge that much. But something as small as that was outrageously priced
Definitely use a padded envelope next time.
The part was about 9cm tall, it was too much for a padded envelope. I’ve used them before for smaller prints, it’s a good alternative and depending on the part I normally won’t have to worry about it damaging as its naturally strong enough.
