[meteorite-list] Free Shipping

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Hi Matthew and all,

Odd as I never view Alaska and Hawaii as not part of the USA only a bit 
further away.

One thing that I do post in my adds are, No shipping to certain 
countries because of extreme trouble with that countries mail service. 
There are a few places like that and some people have had too much 
trouble dealing with those countries so I simply don't ship to those 
places.

When their citizens tell them to clean things up and they become 
reliable then we'll be glad to ship then.
