That said, why do you bother with international orders? Or even out-of-state? Shipping adds a huge hassle factor and cost. I never shipped when I had my bakery - I just focused on local word-of-mouth advertising, and pretty quickly had a large local clientele that kept me super busy. I wonder why so many cookiers do Facebook marketing, because it would seem to me that most could stay pretty busy right in their own neck-of-the-woods by advertising/marketing more locally.
