So, with intangible goods this is a great way to exchange services, but what about tangible goods? Shipping and handling is not cheap for many items. I don't believe there to be any shipping companies that accept bitcoins. So, if I were to make something like furniture I would need to charge a calculated amount to cover shipping, convert it to dollars, and then pay for the shipping cost? Or are people simply charging a flat rate for BTC purchased items and then sitting on the income hoping it will increase in value to eventually cash out and cover shipping expenses.

I make a lot of beer bottle cap related furniture, which is usually quite costly to ship.
