For chits and giggles I looked at shipping for an item to Yakutat. No surcharge via USPS, $4.99 actually. Note said some carriers do charge a surcharge. Down south I noticed more shipping options since awhile back, maybe a year ago. Awesome e-commerce site.
Probably because the item you selected weighed less than a pound. The surcharge kicks in on shipments over one pound to Alaska and Hawaii.
