Most big name stores have fixed this, but it’s still also an issue in Puerto Rico. I believe that to this day (or recently), you can have an Amazon shipping address with P.R. as a state, or as a country, and the results would be very different (shipping restrictions and prices).

What Orlando said. Having an address in PR means endless trouble online. Will the form list PR under State? Is it under Country? Sometimes it’s neither.

I do know Shopify includes Guam under the US states and territories as standard. Whether it’s kept on or not by the store is another matter

In Saipan we have a similar problem. Especially because we have no street addresses and many systems forbid P.O. Boxes. It’s great though. You should come down and visit sometime. Let me know and I could show you around the island.

Just saying as someone who lives on Guam I would definitely shop elsewhere if other stores came to Guam. Only reason I shop at Kmart is because it’s all we have.

When I was on Guam, I thought it odd that one really big Kmart seemed to be the economic center of the island. Then I found out about the "all they have" bit, and the mystery was solved.
