[meteorite-list] Free Shipping

[mmartin at meteoritetreasures.com]

Hi Chris & List,

I've had many say that Hawaii doesn't count.  I guess they failed 3rd  
grade geography.

I am constantly frustrated with ignorant sellers who charge more for  
shipping to Hawaii.  Especially for Priority Mail.  Hawaii is part of  
the US and therefore flat rate is the same cost!  And First Class  
price differences are minimal/  Oftentimes people try to charge way  
more...sigh...

Many listings often say "will ship to lower 48 contiguous states only"  
...I often wonder why...lazy I guess.  They more often than not use  
USPS too...such a pity...I take my business elsewhere.

Hawaii is often treated like a foreign country when it comes to  
shipping.  I sympathize with your frustration, Chris.

I wish dealers especially on EBay wouldn't advertise "Free Shipping"  
when it only applies to U.S.customers. The rest of us (non U. S.) get  
hit with high shipping costs.
