Shipping to US Territories

When shipping to US Territories you will need to change the country from the drop-down menu. Even though US territories (like American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) aren’t international destinations, because we connect with different shipping providers, we have to account for how each shipping provider formats addresses for United States territories

USPS considers US Territories as domestic destinations but may require customs information, such as a commercial invoice for some regions. For example, USPS shipments to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands would not require a commercial invoice, but a shipment to Guam would.


Shipping carriers other than USPS, such as FedEx, UPS, and DHL consider shipments to US Territories as international shipments, and as such, require to be sent using international service options and customs information.
