Sonew, can you even ship to PR? Isn't that considered out of the country?? I would think you would have to have special permits and inspections??

You may just need to file a claim with ebay/buyer to refund their $$.

Answers to Questions about Shipping & Rates to Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico
May 10, 2005 07:10 AM
1) Does it cost more to ship to Alaska/Hawaii/Puerto Rico? The answer is a qualified "no". IF you are using USPS and IF you don't live in certain central parts of the US, the cost is no different than shipping to the opposite side of the country. If you live in Pennsylvania it is zone 8 to California and also zone 8 to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico (and Guam, US Virgin Islands, and other US territories.) The Priority mail cost is the same. If you are using UPS or FedEx the cost may be substantially higher to ship outside the contiguous US. Those carriers do now offer ground service to Alaska and Hawaii, but it does cost more. USPS is recommended as an alternative for those locations as the rate is much more reasonable. 2) My listing said "US only." My buyer is in Alaska/Hawaii/Puerto Rico!! Well, those are part of the the US. eBay's shipping details box does not include an option for shipping to the contiguous US only. If your flat rate shipping is for UPS or you have other reasons for limiting where you will ship, you need to clarify that in your item description. 3) The listing said the s/h was for the continental US. I'm in Alaska and that's part of the continent. "Continental US" has been used for decades by the mail order industries and even UPS to refer to the 48 contiguous states. Your understanding of geography may be superior, but if the seller included a limitation the intent should have been clear. If there is any question or doubt, email before you bid. 4) The listing said the s/h was for the lower 48 states. I'm in Hawaii and that's lower than many other states. Another gold star for geography but read number 3. 5) My listing said "US only" and my buyer is in Puerto Rico! Puerto Rico is actually a US commonwealth. Though not a state, it is part of the US. No customs form is required and there are no taxes or other concerns in shipping there. Regular USPS rates apply. There are actually many locations like this. Treat it like any other normal transaction and enjoy your profit!

Another web link said YUP, if it fits, it ships....... Good luck. But I bet you will be able to use the flat rate boxes.

Calm Down.... Breath..... I thought the same thing when they emailed me. Just put there zip code in on paypal. You will be surprised that it actually isn't that much at all. I didn't write hatching eggs on the box due to where they were going. You should be good though. I think at the most it was like $15 but maybe not even that much. You can always contact them and let them know that shipping will be more since they are going that far.
