[b] I live in Fairbanks Alaska. We have three stores in the Anchorage area, WHY don’t they ship a lot of items in state. There are very few items that ship from Anchorage to Fairbanks.

What are you doing with wipes?

I think it just means they’re out of last mile capacity in your zip code right now.

These things are shaking out but for the first month, my friend in DC ordered groceries to my house in PG because there were so many more delivery windows. It’s just about uneven capacity.

This. It's distribution not some grand conspiracy

It's this. I've had the same experience with multiple items. Keep checking, and you'll eventually be able to order them (like I did).

I don't actually think it's your ZIP code. Ive tried the same thing multiple times. I think it's more an issue of their inventory tracking.

They are out of stock not that they won’t deliver to your zip code.

I just tried and it won't deliver wipes to 22182 or 22101 or 22202 either.

I just stopped ordering from places that won't deliver or do curbside pickup.

Instacart seems to be scammy with the inflated charges, so won't do that either.

Not offered.

I’ve had the same issue for the last 3 months. Started with Costco and now Target. I assume it’s because they want to be able to spread out deliveries to zipcodes across the US and at this point your (and my) zip code have ordered their allotment of critical supplies.

Go do curbside pickup

Maybe there have been too many claims about stolen deliveries in that zipcode and they stopped making deliveries?

I have been searching the internet for disinfectant wipes, and finally some showed up this morning on Target.com. But the when I go to check out it says they won’t deliver to my zip code (Rockville, MD, 20853 if anyone cares). Why? It gives me some message about serving all customers and not shipping to certain zip codes. Hello? Is there some Conspiracy to keep infection rates high in Montgomery County by preventing people from accessing cleaning supplies? Is my zip code too wealthy? Not wealthy enough? Anyone know why? I am mostly joking about conspiracies and such, but I confess the lockdown is getting tome and my sanity sometimes feels tenuous these days!
