Shipping Costs dillema

I am kinda having a shipping costs dilemma. I have different drop shippers around the world. So a few products are getting drop shipped by an European drop shipper and the other products are getting shipped from the US drop shippers. This makes it for some products twice as expensive to ship to US and for other products the opposite.

Is it the best for my e-commerce site to have the same shipping costs for all products (i.e $5 to us, and $10 to eu).
Or to have different shipping costs for the products ( so some $5 to Us and other $7, and same with europe) ?

    Why not set up 2 websites? One for the European market and one for America?

    On another note, you could always add the shipping terms to the product details and on your Shipping FAQ, If people want the product enough, they will be willing to pay and wait.

      Hmm, I'd rather have one website for international and national :S .

      Yes I could add the information to the FAQ, thanks that's a good one .
      Also, Should I keep the same shipping prices for all the products?
