Just learned why most ads that say "free shipping" actually say "Free shipping within CONUS"..... Just shipped up to Alaska, I look at the fed-ex recipt & realize that after shipping, consumables, packing meterials etc... I actually did a Glassbolt for $20.00! Well.... Live & learn...

Unless it absoluly has to be here tomorrow, then USPS is the only way to ship to Alaska. As often as not the premium freight is in the same airplane's belly as the USPS.

Priority Mail will get to urban AK in 3-5 days from anywhere in CONUS; my kid was getting pkgs. from Juneau to Afghanistan in 7-10 days.
