Tried to order some Pmags for my in laws on the mainland today.
Primary arms won't ship them based on Hawaii billing address now.
Hope others don't start using this policy.   >:(

There's a lot more that won't ship here. Midway and Brownells will though. As will AIM..but there shipping is...like $25 for 2 mags.

Edit: Why not get is sent to their house?

I used to, but now as long as the billing address is in a banned area, they won't process it.
They always had a higher (10) limit and normal prices. Too much hassle now. Just have a find a new route...

If you are going to place your order through AIM during business hours, give them a call. They will ship to HI via USPS for much cheaper than the online quote, but you have to call. I don't know why they haven't fixed their website's shipping options.

I don't know if anything has changed in the last few months but whenever I've ordered from AIM, they always switch it to USPS automatically. Bryan from AIM told me they only ship USPS to Hawaii and I don't need to request it, but I still send them an e-mail after I place my order. The FedEx quotes are always around $40+ so I don't want to take the chance.

I was able to talk Super Pawn into shipping me 5 AR-15 magazines yesterday.  They were accessed through Gun Broker website.  They said they do not normally ship to Hawaii.
After I explained that the shipment of mags was legal and the postage is almost the same, they agreed to do it.  Sometimes chatting with the seller helps.

Aloha..

I had the same experience on Gunbroker.  The ad said "make sure they are legal in your area."  I won auction and they said they wouldn't ship to Hawaii.  After some debate and a rundown of my interpretation of Hawaii law, they sent them.  Another guy I asked before I bid and after some discussion, he agreed to ship them as well.  Sometime pays to talk with them about it first.
It is what it is.
