Just something that baffles me

When people say shipping to "lower 48" when in fact, Hawaii is "lower" than Florida. The most northern state, besides Alaska, I think is Minnesota. Maybe some people don't know how to spell Continental?:weirdface:confused:

I'm pretty sure you nailed the reason right there.

The term "lower 48" was coined when Alaska was the 49th State and Hawaii was not yet a State.

Could changed that. Hawaii was indicted as a state like 6-7 months after Alaska.

Is it that important?

Yes :)
