Puerto Rico not with US in Exclusion List Options

[byto253]

I just realized that Puerto Rico is included with the Caribbean countries in the shipping exclusion list options,  not with the USA. I would have thought it came under the Protectorate option in the US option. 

Usually US protectorates get excluded for heavy items as the shipping is to high to work with flat rates, but for under 2KG US Tracked Packet rates are the same and that works well.    

Just a heads up anyway.

Not surprising since shipping companies like UPS/FedEx, and probably others, have Puero Rico as destination country when creating shipping labels.

I think that on .com, both PR in the Caribbean section and US Protectorates have to be checked off to totally block it.

That is because some Puerto Ricans write their address using PR as the country and others use it as a state with US as the country.  If they just have protectorates blocked and the buyer has PR as the country, the sale will go through.  It's definitely a glitch.
