- Because....
- Many online stores and sellers

WE KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE
We have lived in Alaska......
on Prince of Wales Island, in Southeast,
and we know about the economic challenges
of living in Alaska!!!
We have experienced the frustration
of trying to order products online,
only to find out
that the seller either does NOT ship to Alaska….
or if they do,
the cost of Air Freight charged by the seller
makes buying the item way too expensive.
We can’t count how many times, as Alaskans,
we had wished the seller would just offer
the option of shipping our purchase
through the Post Office!!!

Why Use Our Service?
Although our Hearts will always remain in Alaska,
we reluctantly made the move down to the Lower 48
in March of 2015.
Since April of 2015, while living in Utah,
we have worked full-time as professional
on-line sellers,
with products on Amazon, eBay,
Facebook Marketplace, Bonanza,
and several other sites.
Our online business receives and ships packages
every day
through our facility located
at the base of picturesque Mt. Olympus,
in the small town of Holladay,
a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah.
We have the capacity to receive your package
sent through any commercial package shipper,
and then forward it on to you in Alaska
through the U.S. Post Office.....
and we can often do it at significantly lower rates
than shipping Second-Day Air to Alaska.
This means you can still make a purchase online,
(often with the seller providing FREE shipping
within the Lower 48),
even if the seller does not otherwise offer
affordable shipping options for customers in Alaska.
