Once again, a friendly reminder to lower-48 eBay sellers: Alaska IS part of the United States. We're not a foreign country, possession, or 'little island down by Hawaii'. You don't have to have a passport to get in, and we even speak English ( Read more... )

You mean you are part of the US?

You're thinking California.

I learned the hard way that if someone buys your item from Hawaii or Alaska you will get murdered on shipping. That is, unless you can use a flat rate box.

Flat rate boxes are the trick. I did a lot of Ebaying awhile back and that was my secrete to shipping out of Alaska everywhere.

Stabbed? Are you sure you're American? Where's your gun?

Stabbing sounds both more painful and more satisfying.

I am SO WITH YOU ON THIS! *stabby stabby*

What I just love is getting the n00b ebay sellers who advertise "free" shipping to anywhere in the CONTINENTAL United States. Then I not-so-gently remind them that Alaska is part of the CONTINENT of North America and if they try that "but it's more expensive to ship there so you should pay me $10 extra even though I advertised FREE shipping" one more time, I would report them to ebay AND the Better Business Bureau AND their local law enforcement.

I really don't know what a cop would do with that kind of complaint, but it sure as heck gets people to ship me my stuff. :-D heheh
