I have the same problem. Having parts shipped to Hawaii via UPS/FedEx costs an arm and a leg if not your first born. USPS ships flat rate very cheap yet none of the vendors will use them. I was told by someone that the vendors make money from discounted shipping rates offered to them by the shipping companies. This would make sense why they refuse to send via USPS, why cut your profits?
