Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Here are some alternative options to consider for shipping products internationally in a more scalable way with tracking:

Use a global shipping provider like DHL, FedEx, or UPS for consolidated international shipments. They offer tracking and delivery confirmation. Rates may be higher than stamps, but they could be cost-effective at scale.

Look into freight forwarding companies that can consolidate shipments and arrange bulk international transport via air or sea. Some provide pickup from local warehouses.

Use an e-commerce fulfillment service like ShipBob, Fulfillment by Amazon, or ShipMonk. They pick up, pack, ship and handle customs and duties. More hands-off than doing it yourself.

Print shipping labels directly through your regional postal service's online portal (e.g., Canada Post, Royal Mail) for cheaper rates than couriers but with tracking.

Research group shipping discounts: some providers offer lower rates for consolidated shipments from the same sender within a time period.

Consider sea freight for large, less time-sensitive orders. Much cheaper than air but with longer transit times.

Compare parcel vs. envelope rates, as envelopes are often cheaper up to a certain weight.

Having a local fulfillment partner is very cost-effective for low volumes. As business grows, a scalable automated solution with tracking may be worth the higher per-item cost.
