Update (December 27, 2013) Russian Standard Post is available not only in the California warehouses, but also in the Nevada and Oregon warehouses of Shipito.


Personally I've been using the Oregon warehouse for most of my purchases. It takes longer to ship from Oregon, this warehouse lacks some shipping methods and shipping from this location is more expensive. However the benefit of using Oregon is that it is a no sales tax location.
