Turning the setting on is easy; the postage and the customs form are on the seller.
Turning the setting on
Depop's Worldwide shipping guide, read 2026-08-28, keeps the mechanics to a single instruction: to enable international shipping, scroll down to “worldwide” on a listing and toggle it on, then enter an international shipping price. That price is what a buyer outside the seller's home country sees added to the item price at checkout — it is a separate figure from the domestic shipping price on the same listing.
Who actually arranges the postage
Depop's guide draws a clear line here: “If you're a seller located outside the US or UK, you can use your preferred method to ship the item to your buyer wherever they are.” For a US seller, that same self-arranged model is what applies once an order crosses the border, since Depop's own words are that “it is always your responsibility to send items tracked and keep proof of postage.” Depop's built-in Ship With Depop label, covered on our Depop seller shipping page, is a US-domestic tool; it does not extend across the border the way the domestic label does.
In practice that means an international Depop sale runs through the same USPS, UPS or FedEx international counter a seller would use for any other cross-border parcel — not through anything Depop generates automatically.
Preparing the buyer for customs
Depop's guide puts the seller's obligation in plain terms: “Make sure the buyer is aware that their item may be at customs or a local depot and needs to be collected.” It also references import tax schemes such as IOSS that can apply depending on where the item is going, which is a separate question from the postage price itself and depends on the destination country's own rules.
A buyer who has never imported anything before will not expect a customs hold as a normal part of the order, so a short note at the time of sale — not just tracking details — is what keeps a delayed parcel from turning into a dispute.
What it actually costs, and where SMKlog stops
The USPS prices below are USPS's own, not numbers SMKlog sells — our checkout sells US domestic parcels and four international lanes (Canada, the UK, Germany and Australia), never USPS postage abroad. USPS publishes its own international lineup, read 2026-08-28, and the two most relevant services for a typical Depop-sized parcel are these.
| Service | Starting price | Weight ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| First-Class Package International Service | From $19.40 | Up to 4 lb (64 oz) |
| Priority Mail International | From $32.65 | 70 lb (by weight); 4 lb flat-rate envelope; 20 lb flat-rate box |
Both are starting retail prices; the actual charge scales with the packed weight and the destination country, and neither figure includes any duty or import tax the buyer's country may add on arrival. Price the domestic side of a Depop sale — a bundle a buyer combined, or a piece shipped without the built-in label — on our own calculator, and place the international order directly with the carrier once it leaves the country.

Common questions
How do I turn on international shipping on Depop?
On the listing itself. Depop's Worldwide shipping guide describes scrolling down to the Worldwide setting and toggling it on, then entering an international shipping price the buyer will see if they are outside the seller's home country.
Does Depop provide the international shipping label?
No, not for a US seller. Depop's own worldwide shipping guide has sellers outside the US or UK use their preferred method to ship, and states plainly that international shipping is always the seller's responsibility to fulfil and ship on time, with tracked postage arranged independently.
Who handles customs on an international Depop sale?
The buyer collects and clears it, but the seller has to prepare them for it. Depop's guide instructs sellers to make sure the buyer is aware their item may be held at customs or a local depot and needs to be collected, and it references import tax schemes like IOSS that can apply depending on the destination.
Can SMKlog price an international Depop shipment?
To four countries, yes: our checkout now sells labels to Canada, the UK, Germany and Australia with the customs declaration completed at checkout, so a Depop order headed there can buy right here. The USPS figures on this page are USPS's own, bought from USPS directly; for other destinations a seller books with USPS, UPS or FedEx rather than through SMKlog or Depop's built-in label.
What does USPS charge to send a parcel abroad, roughly?
USPS's own Compare International Mail Services page, read 2026-08-28, lists Priority Mail International from $32.65 and First-Class Package International Service, capped at 4 lb, from $19.40. Both are starting retail prices; the actual charge depends on the packed weight and the destination country.
