What is the best shipping option to use?

If you live in Canada, what is a good service to use for customers to order prints? And what shipping option should I set as the default?

  • I am mostly concerned about frightening off customers with huge brokerage fees (what a company charges to clear a package through customs). I am interested to know how other photographers have dealt with this issue and what service they chose to go with. At the moment, I am looking into Smugmug, Fotomoto, and Zenfolio or trying to figure out some solution to do it myself. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    With Zenfolio, you can have any lab in Canada fulfill your orders with the self-fulfillment option. The order and customer payment come to you directly, and  you can take it to any lab of your choice avoiding hassles and fees altogether. Zenfolio also allows you to price your work in CAD so it feels completely natural to your clients.
