Default 48 States???

Just curious...Everyone always puts ship to 48 states. I live in Hawaii and ship stuff out via USPS all the time. It is no different to ship from here to there or from there to here. Most items I've shipped are relatively small, and no matter the weight its 13 bucks for the box. Is it that no one wants to go to the post office? Like I said...just curious

If something you want to buy I would just pm the seller that exact info. I,for one, have no problem going to the post office

I know what you mean. We are in the jewelery business and all the companies ship Fedex or UPS and it costs big dollars. I have purchased many pieces for my Vette and the prices for shipping are sky high. Nobody wants to ship USPS anymore. I guess its just a cost we have to endure. Most companies will not ship to Hawaii unless it is Fedex or UPS It must be easier for them to have the packages picked up.
