Or the sellers who ship by USPS Priority Mail but who won't ship to Hawaii. Why? It's the same price.
That was always a pet peeve of mine when I lived in Hawaii. I found it to be the worst when the merchant had an exclusive contract with UPS - which, at least at the time, did not offer "ground" shipping to Hawaii from the mainland, just the reverse. They'd always bump me up to 2nd day air for an exorbitant cost.
Now that UPS offers "ground" from the mainland to Hawaii, I'd hope things have changed a bit for the better. But it's not my problem any more . . .
