This is an ongoing project and I will try to update it as often as possible. Please let me know if you have any stores to add to the list!
The following stores ship to the CNMI, according to their shipping policies - I have verified those marked with an asterisk (or someone I know ordered from the company):
- 6pm.com* - Free shipping with minimum purchase.
- Amazon.com* - Shipping cost from the Amazon warehouse is usually $10 or more per item, so look for a link on the item page listing "Other Sellers" and buy from Marketplace sellers instead because they often offer free shipping or charge only domestic mail prices.
- Amazon Subscribe & Save* - Free shipping to the CNMI and a 15% discount if you order 5 eligible items.
- Amazon Prime - No consensus on whether there is a shipping benefit to having a Prime membership. Some folks say they get free shipping, but the Amazon website says no. My guess is that Amazon is trying it out so we might see the policy change in the near future.
- ASOS
- Aveda*
- DoTerra Essential Oils*
- eBay* - Shipping policies depend on individual sellers, but in my experience most of them ship to the CNMI, and many offer free shipping.
- Fabric.com
- Gap Factory
- H&M
- J. Crew* - Free shipping with minimum purchase.
- JC Penney* - Free shipping with minimum purchase.
- Land's End* - Free shipping with $50 minimum purchase (click here for 40% off coupon for new online customers).
- LeisurePro (scuba gear)
- MAC
- Macy's* - Free shipping with minimum purchase.
- Patagonia* (verified that shipping prices are same as to mainland)
- Petco
- Petsmart* - Free shipping with minimum purchase. I have my dog food - Hill's Science Diet - on a subscription, so I get a small discount; crappy dog food is so expensive on island, and ordering the good stuff comes out to around the same price.
- QVC
- REI
- SwimsuitsForAll
- TokyoPenShop
- Vasseur Skincare
- Victoria's Secret
- Walmart (stopped offering free shipping on most items in 2016)
- Zappos
The following stores do not ship to the CNMI:
- Best Buy
- Home Depot (there is a store in Guam)
- Ikea (US)
- Lululemon
- Nike
- Office Depot
- Overstock.co (international site)
- Overstock.com (US/APO site)
- Rodan & Fields
- Staples (AU)
- Staples (US)
- Uncommon Goods
- World Market
And these are stores that I am not sure about, either because I haven't checked yet or their shipping information is unclear on their website:
- Lowes - Website says they ship to U.S. protectorates, but CNMI not listed as an option.
- Poshmark may ship to the CNMI, but it seems like it depends on the individual seller. I was able to order an item and have it shipped here.
- Sephora
- Target
- Zara
