Try shipping to AK. I can send something to the Lower 48 for a few bucks and the same shipment from a vendor will cost 5-10 times that amount. eBay shipping is outrageous.
Hats off to Dan M for his better than honest shipping rates and his great packaging. Thanks, Dan!
There are some companies that either refuse to ship here or charge an additional $25 to ship here. Some are coming around but I frequently try to order something and the cost of S&H are 2-3 times the price of the product I am buying. Many places still consider Alaska a foreign country and charge the international rate.
