the best way to ship to Alaska is to send via post office in the flat rate boxes - looks like this size will fit into the large box. Remember - if it fits, it ships. Even not going flat rate, post office is probably still the best price and doesn't take as long as folks think for something this size/weight. This lesson learned from my years of living in AK.

Parcel post takes about 2-3 weeks. you still have time if you are finished to ship it PP. through the post office. i live in bush alaska and i get stuff within the 3 weeks most of the time, gets a little longer the closer to the holidays you wait.
