From the list of businesses in this thread this was the one that caught my eye. However, I am Australian and a lot of the time businesses don't ship here. Like you say, it's a physical business, you need to move physical products.

I opened your website and immediately looked for shipping, 'countries you ship to' is nowhere to be found until checkout, where there is a dropdown with no options other than the USA.

Are there mail forwarding services that cater to people in your situation? Would you pay $10-$15 plus typical US-to-Australia shipping costs for this service? I guess I'm wondering if this is a business opportunity for someone to provide a US delivery address and then forward the mail abroad.

There are, Australia Post runs one which I've never used at https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/

International shipping is typically not that difficult or unreasonably expensive for most items (I help to send some physical goods from Australia, which is conveniently near nowhere else).

The problem is usually customer expectations, we can submit their parcel the same day but any delays in customs, processing, or their local courier/postal service becomes our fault since the customer has no one else to contact, but we have no real ability to change the outcome for any individual parcel.

New Zealand Post runs a service like this: https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop

Doesn't cater to Australians though!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, shipping outside of the US is pretty much all we can do at this point, I’m sorry to say.
