Actually shipping 1 lb or under to Alaska or Hawaii or U.S. Territories cost the
same as shipping to
ANY of the other 48 States.
Shipping over 1 lb is "supposed to go" by weight and zip code. These examples are straight from the
"U.S. Post Office" website (and the rates are looking fairly consistant to me). These examples are for 2 lbs shipped via the US Post Office Priority:
Washington State to Maine - $5.75
Washington State to Alaska - $5.40
Texas to Maine - $5.40
Texas to Alaska - $5.75
Maine to Alaska - $5.75
New Mexico to Maine - $5.75
New Mexico to Alaska - $5.75
California to Hawaii - $5.75
Maine to Hawaii - $5.75
Maine to California - $5.75
