We ship internationally all the time. We charge $17.95 for a flat-rate envelope sent by USPS Priority Mail International. Please bear in mind that it costs us $16.95 to send it - that's what USPS charges - and the extra $1 is for insurance. Were we to ship by UPS or FedEx it would cost even more.
I believe that the cost factor is why you are not going to find free international shipping. Also, international shipping is more time-consuming for the business. We have found that we spend a LOT more time answering customer inquiries on international orders than we do for US shipments (Where's the package? Why isn't it here yet? Why can't I track it?) Though we do have the answer to most of those questions already posted on our website (
http://www.favoritefabric.com/intern..._shipping.html ) ... that doesn't necessarily mean that our customers have read it, and it seems kind of unfriendly to answer the e-mails by saying "please read our website". So we spend the time to answer all the questions individually. And that takes time!
