Shipping to UsMost shipping firms deliver to us. If they ask, we are located in a rural residential neighborhood and would not be classified as a "Business" destination.
The U.S. Postal Service has a "Flat Rate" service that is attractive because it is fairly inexpensive and easy to manage. We generally ship using "Priority Mail" with the U.S. Postal Service. Here are a few links for your convenience:
