I am unaware of anyone "refusing to ship".

Let's use a practical illustration:

I have an antenna tuner for sale.

It weighs 45lbs all packed and ready.

I decide what I want for it and include a
basic shipping cost in that calculation.

I decide that it is simpler for me and most
potential buyers to post it for $250. Shipped
CONUS so I don't waste time looking up 30
different zip codes for potential buyers
scattered all across the country.

However, if someone from Hawaii wants the
tuner I will run their zip code and inform
them that *the shipping company* charges a
premium to their location and I will have to
add that to the total.

We choose where we live and accept different
consequences, for some that consequence is
occasionally higher shipping costs.
