On Etsy you reach shoppers around the world, but international shipping can get complicated.

We’re constantly working with our partners to make shipping more seamless for you. On July 1, 2020 the United States Postal Service made some changes to their service which affected all their customers and dramatically reduced the availability of full tracking on international shipments.

In order to keep providing you and your customers with the best shipping experience on Etsy, we’re expanding the existing Global Postal Shipping program, provided through our shipping partner, to include all packages less than 4 pounds (except for those going to Canada, which are not affected by these changes).

Now when you buy postage for your international packages, you’ll select Global Postal Shipping. For most orders you’ll be able to track the package from the moment it leaves your door until it reaches the customer!

How it works

• Can buy postage right from your Shop Manager
• Get the same delivery times and affordable rates you’ve come to expect
• Don’t have to add an extra customs form—we’ll handle it for you
