Most shippers use UPS or FedEx which have set "zones"- if you cross the line of the zone- then the charge is higher. I bet that is why the Mississippi is the cut of for extra charge- the company is being charged extra to cross that zone line.

I'm off to Maui for the next 10 days - hope to visit all things botanical - DH wants visit orchid growers (shudder). I love them, but have no space to put more, as I have no greenhouse.
