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

I still want to see that truck..

I want to see the Fedex Ground truck that goes to Hawaii????

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!

hello,

i am offering the following for sale to hams in the 48 states only.
prices are plus shipping.

Here it is again. What is it about the states of Alaska and Hawaii
that confuses people.

Both are U.S. States. They use American money. UPS, USPS, and
Fed Ex go there. There are no customs statements to fill out.

USPS charges the same to ship there as, say, California or Nevada.

Anything that will go wrong with a deal to Alaska or Hawaii could
also go wrong with Michigan or Louisiana.

There is no difference between Alaska, Hawaii, and New Mexico or
Maine.

Will someone please explain this 48 state stuff?

What's the story?


Well, he didn't specify which 48 states. Alphabetically, Alaska and Hawaii
make it just fine.

The 'story' is TIME. NO ONE in Alaska or Hawaii wants to
WAIT for 'ground' delivery, which is what is usually quoted
in the shipping price. Maine is 7 days TOPS. NOT weeks
like AK and HI are.

I asked at the Post Office, TODAY, in person, and found
that GROUND to Alaska is 4 weeks!!! So that means that
if I quote you 'parcel post' or 'Priority' - it makes NO DIFFERENCE
and will take a month to get to Alaska. Even WORSE for
Hawaii- 4 to 6 weeks.

So that means 'I'll pay the shipping at the rate quoted but if you
don't live in the lower-48, and you want it before summer, you
will have to cough up more money'

On the other hand, if I quote 'any state in the union' that means
that 48 states will get a VERY HIGH price just to make 'one price
for all' work for AK and HI.

Pretty simple. Go to www.usps.com and enter your own shipping
info and you'll see. It's really a simple issue.
