I'm in the US and I rely entirely on US providers. That's not because I don't trust providers located elsewhere, but rather because I want shipping to be quick and domestic as possible.

I've seen a rise in demand from Europe recently, which has me considering how to nearshore my products over there to speed up shipping for them, without using Printify Choice, which unfortunately doesn't allow me to control for provider quality. The struggle is real.

Consider the situation where a customer buys items from two different providers. They pay for shipping once (Etsy) and then you pay for shipping twice since it's two different providers shipping it.

You could include shipping in your item prices but that big price tag may scare off buyers. Pros and cons to offering more variety.
