  • DC has no star on the flag. You don't want to sell to them either?

    And, really, what do you care if the postal rates are the same? That's the entire point of limiting international sales, aside from export restrictions.

      The rates AREN'T the same. We're not just talking about USPS here, it's also FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.

      I care because in the real world, shipping products, especially ones that classify as the various levels of hazmat, have different rules and options (and problems) depending on whether that can go ground or air.

      The decisions to "go 48 for now" is a short term fix until the various issues with non contig orders can be better dealt with in 3rd party integration scenerios.

      For the sake of the conversation, "hazmat" parts can include things like fire extinguishers, cans of spray, cleaners, shocks, etc. So to sell it through a third party, you need to be able to restrict to 48 contiguous most times. Some parts can go "US Only" via USPS, but not to Puerto Rico, Guam, etc. Shipping parts sometimes IS a complicated business.
