Yes? Buyer pays shipping.

Yes, UPS can be expensive when you use their retail stores or
affiliates but one secret is that there are TWO UPS rates. You can
get a lower rate by shopping around or opening your own account.

USPS charges the same once you hit the max.

But, Buyer pays shipping.

I'm guessing that the aging ham population thinks that Alaska and
Hawaii are still Territories.

Well, I've had more trouble doing deals with Florida.

It's a boat, of course.

Anyone who is both a ham, and a sailer, will assure you that all that
salt water outside the boat makes a _great_ ground!

How long does it take that boat to get to Hawaii?

I used to ship stuff to England, and it was 4 months by "ground."

Ok, to make it simple, neither UPS or Fedex do ground shipments to Hawaii,
Air only...

I still want to see that truck..
