The price hike on July 1st came about because of changes USPS made to their charges for the last mile delivery (ie what RM has to pay them for delivery stuff) hence why USA is now a zone of its own. I made Folksy aware of the impending hike at the beginning of June and they were working on having the 3 zones as well as rejigging the Europe zone (it currently has the EU countries included in it but not the non EU European countries) so that they better reflected RM’s zoning but they couldn’t get all the work finished before the 1st July price increase (it is apparently a major rejig). Hopefully they will get this work finished asap (or at least before any christmas rush).
What you could do is set the postage for ‘rest of world’ as if it is zone 2 and then refund any overages should someone from zone 1 orders. Personally there are countries I won’t ship too (expensive jewellery and a postal service known for loosing stuff isn’t worth the hassle) so I just have Europe and USA set up and if anyone outside those regions want to buy they can contact me (and I have had people contact me asking if I will ship to their country)
