I prefer to ship FedEx ground (have an account with them), and that isn't an option with international buyers. FedEx International is expensive and buyers typically don't want to pay it, especially if it is something large. Instead they'll suggest USPS. Not worth my time or energy to hassle with the post office. Extra forms, standing in line, hit-or-miss tracking. Nationalism doesn't have anything to do with it. Extra paperwork and extra time/hassle does.

I've also had broker/duty/etc charges come out of nowhere when I've shipped or had things shipped to me international. When I ship CONUS, I pay once and that is it.
