Does my shipping rate put you off?

Hi All,

My website is still newly created. It's about 2 months old. Just start being indexed by Yahoo, MSN and google. There are few customers visit the site but no order yet.

Here is the website

www.TheArtOfThailand.com

Does my shipping rate put you off? is it too expensive? :huh:

Feedback please.

$83.00 shipping for the $50.00 item might be a tad bit much for my pocket book ... :cry:

And $63 for a 0.5kg item (cost $70) to the UK is enough to put me off as well. I'd have to be really desperate for the item and not be able to get it anywhere else to even consider buying.

Thanks for your feedback guys.

It's a bit difficult as I use UPS for shipping. And that's the true rate.
I need to find the cheaper shipping rate for the small products too.

Contact DHL they specialize in worldwide shipping and do more global shipping than UPS and FEDEX combined. They ship 1lb items to me from China to the U.S.A for $18.45! If you contact them and tell them that you are a reseller they will point you in the right direction.
The only downfall is that there is currently no shipping module created for zen cart as of yet.
Good luck
