Other issues

• Currency
• Delivery
• Shipping costs

Currency
Good marketing practice suggests you offer products for sale in your customers’ currency (usually US $ on the Web). This raises issues because of fluctuating exchange rates/differing price points.

Delivery
Can you meet customers’ expectations for delivery? After all, if they can find your product and order it in a few minutes, why must they wait for several weeks while it travels to them?

Shipping costs
Who bears shipping costs? You will find that postage of bulky items overseas is expensive – and express couriers are not cheap.
