Domestic shipping is the transportation of goods within a country. This form of transportation covers short distances, for instance taking goods from one city and delivering to another, or at times it covers larger distance too which includes shipping goods from East coast to West coast. The term International Shipping is utilized for the transportation of merchandise from one country to another. In contrast to domestic shipping, the distance traveled is usually very large. But again, it can also cover small distances, for instance traveling few miles but if it transfers goods from one country to another, it will still be called as international shipping regardless of the miles traveled.
