Aloha,
I just wanted to share with other members on this forum.
When you ship small items, it is not crazy expensive to send them to Hawaii. Use a flat rate box from USPS, stuff whatever will fit, weight doesnÂ’t matter and itÂ’s the same price to all 50 states. Very large items I can understand not wanting to ship, they can get damaged and or can be expensive.
Flat rate boxes are available in small, two mediums(square and rectangle) and a large. They come with tracking and the item has always arrived very quickly ~4 days.
Priority twoday is great from small light items, youÂ’ll save a couple bucks over flat rate.
IÂ’ve purchased parts here before, let the seller know flat rate is best and they choose not to. When I finally get my item, itÂ’s taken 10 or more days and looking at the postage stamp, they had paid more than it would have flat rate.
I thought it might be helpful to pass on this knowledge or help alleviate any fears.
Also USPS has always been cheaper, even if you have an account with UPS or FedEx, depending on the size USPS was always cheapest.
P.S. IÂ’ve also bought t-shirts from sellers here and they jack up the shipping price. ItÂ’s the same flat rate price but to some people they for some reason think it takes twice as much to ship to Hawaii.
