Has anybody in Hawaii successfully ordered something from PSA? I can't even complete the online registration because "Hawaii" is not included in their drop-down list of States and they are not picking up their phone. All they have is a voicemail that doesn't allow you to leave a message because it's full.

Probably Alaska is not included either. SOme outfits have shipping issues with us. I wanted to get a $1.00 gas block shim from Armalite and they wanted $33 shipping.

Yes - I purchased something from PSA as recently as last month. The work around is to make sure you put in your correct zip code and then choose any state. For example, I input Honolulu, CA 96826. It should get to you. Good luck.

I thought about that but am concerned about making large purchases.

I wonder if PSA's standard shipping cost is the same to Hawaii as to the other 48 (i.e. $15 & $7)?

Suspect a lot of these internet dealers have a special deal with the Teamsters (UPS) for discounted rates, that precludes them from using alternate shipping methods. Dunno but it chaps my hide to see a shipping quote for over twice what the part cost.
I have found USPS to have excellent rates, UPS is always outrageous unless you are in the lower 48. And we cannot get ammo shipped cheap like they get it.

I purchased a pistol barrel (small package). It was shipped UPS Ground, $6.

PSA has shipped everything of mine via USPS.

Straight from the horse's mouth.....
You can place an order and create an account if you live in Hawaii, with the exception of ammunition, liquids, or batteries. You would be able to place your order through our website. If you make sure that your street address and zip code is correct, just enter any other state and you will not have any problems.

I've only been interested in ordering ammo from them. But then again, I haven't found any online suppliers that ship to Hawaii for a reasonable amount due to hazmat fees. Damn. That's one of the times I wished I still lived on the mainland. Well, not really. . .
