When it comes to the cost of living in Hawaii, shipping to and among the islands has a large impact on the prices of nearly all goods and services. In the mainland of the US, you can hire a truck to drive a thousand miles in any direction without a problem. In the islands, however, any substantial movement of goods is probably going to involve crossing water, which adds a whole new level of complication and expense.
So how do you get your items to Hawaii, and then to their destination in the islands?
Whether you are moving to a new home in the Aloha State and need to move all your worldly goods, or whether you have a restaurant on Oahu and need to bring in a container of flash-frozen salmon from the Pacific Northwest, you will need a shipping solution that is timely, accessible…and affordable.
Is that even possible?
With Hawaiian Movers Inc it is more than possible. It is what they do best. Serving Hawaii for over sixteen years, Hawaiian Movers handles shipments originating in the islands all across the Pacific, and shipments to the Hawaiian islands from west coast ports, Guam and Saipan.
So whatever your Hawaii shipment will contain, contact Hawaiian Movers Inc. to find your options for freight shipping to Hawaii. Follow these tips to make sure your shipping needs are met with as little cost as possible.
Skip the Parcel Service: Choose Hawaii Freight Shipping
In recent years, mainland businesses have come to rely exclusively on parcel service for much of their shipping needs. But in Hawaii, shipping is greatly complicated by the need to ship overseas and cross between islands.
Freight companies are set up to efficiently and inexpensively overcome the difficulties of changing transport types between trucks, ships, and even air freight. So if you can be a bit flexible on time, you stand to save a lot of money on your shipping if you choose a freight hauler rather than a parcel service.
Hawaii Shipping: Let the Experts Handle the Red Tape
With changing modes of transportation and regulatory red tape inherent in crossing oceans, shipping to and within Hawaii can be a very complex process.
If you choose a highly competent and experienced freight company that has been doing business in Hawaii for many years, you will be taking advantage of their experience in navigating red tape and avoiding the inconveniences and delays inherent in the business.
Door-to-Door Service: One Company Can Handle All Your Hawaii Freight Needs
When navigating the complications of Hawaii shipping, you may discover that many freight companies outsource certain parts of the journey for your valuable goods. This provides opportunities for the goods to be lost or damaged and can add to the cost.
Hawaiian Movers features door-to-door service, which means that they will pick up your goods from their point of origin and bring them directly to their destination. No subcontractors, no third parties, just one company intent on ensuring that your necessities arrive in good condition and at the agreed-upon time.
Consolidate Your Shipping Needs: Let One Company Move Your Inventory
Even if you have shipments of multiple types that need to be made, talk with Hawaiian Movers about how they can help you consolidate it all into a single delivery.
A container load can include office supplies, dry goods, and even a vehicle if that’s what you need to move. Don’t think that just because you have different types of goods to ship, you have to have multiple shipments.
Ship In Bulk: Send a Full Container Load
Similarly, you will pay the lowest price per unit shipped if you can fill a container. Consider shipping larger quantities of items at a time to save a lot on shipping. Or go in with other local businesses and share freight costs on a full container load.
Flexible Delivery Dates
If you can give the freight company some leeway on the exact shipment date, you can save serious money. Let the company assess the sailing schedule to maximize inexpensive direct sailings rather than insisting on your goods arriving on a given day.
