Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater... In other words? Don't rock the boat!
If I lived on the mainland I'd be doing my shopping from "other" places, but 99% of those "other" places do NOT ship, or if they do, CHARGE a huge fee...
I have been there and heard it all, from Batteries, Sprays, food items, liquids, you name it. And you, some days a product will ship, then other days it won't. It depends on the vendor. So, just like I was looking for Uninterruptible Power Supplies(UPS). I've known for a long time that Amazon will never ship those due to the sealed battery, even tho, they will ship out phones, tablets, etc...etc.... But, office max (with coupons) and when it's on sale, sells APC UPS units for comparable prices. Also, one should note that Target and Walmart will price match with Amazon. Good thing about that is, if you don't like it or it's DOA, than you won't have to deal with boxing it back up and taking it back to UPS.
We should count our blessings that we have a major store that pretty much has everything and a LOT of it will ship here for "FREE". But........ yes, I know it's frustrating... Some things just won't ship. Usually you can source those items from other vendors.
I think if amazon stopped shipping to hawaii ... I'd seriously contemplate moving back to the mainland...
