I lived in Hawaii for 14 years and can attest that USPS is the best bargain you’re going to get for shipping to 49 & 50, as well as Puerto Rico. No special handling…no special considerations...
One caveat I will mention is that you will want to avoid using “parcel post” at the post office, at least to Hawaii. In exchange for being cheaper, its much slower…I have seen packages sent parcel post take 1 to 3 months to show up at their destination in Hawaii. Priority and First Class are reasonable, really. Certainly more reasonable than UPS and FedEx, both of which can get very pricey. Finally, check out the Flat Rate boxes available at the PO…sometimes that can be a REAL bargain if the item is on the heavier side. 73, David - N5DCH > On Dec 22, 2020, at 10:23 AM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jerry, > > I too can state that 1st class or priority mail to Alaska and Hawaii is the > same as the lower 48.
