It cost me over $3,000 per U-box to ship from Vegas to here. We got rid of 2/3 of our stuff before we left and ended up with three U-boxes. It was a job relocation so it was all tax deduction.
Attached is a sample from their website. You can use their trailer to tow it to the Uhaul near the airport or hire a mover to transport it for you.
Just moved from Oahu to big island last week. Paid about $400+ to ship my double cab Tacoma. Filled the bed (bought a cheap tonneau from Amazonbut$200) with personal items and filled the whole back seat and floor behind passenger seat up to the bottom of the windows also with personal stuff. Dropped truck off to young Bros on Friday, it sailed on Saturday, was available in Hilo on Tuesday, flew in and picked up on Wednesday. All I had with me on the flight were a laptop bag filled with personal items and another carry on filled with jewelry and other important docs. I had to call Hawaiian the night before to let them know I would be checking guns. I brought an M4 and a Ruger 10/22 both in one hard case. Initially I had under 11 lbs of ammo per my interpretation of Hawaiian airlines that it could be packed into the same case as the guns. But as I talked to the Hawaiian airlines rep who was obviously in the Philippines reading from a script, I decided not to take a chance and left my ammo on Oahu at my parents place. I didn't want to spend the money to ship the ammo separately in another checked bag. As far as our other belongings ( I have a wife and 2 daughters 4 and we sold what other belongings we had that didn't fit in the truck and 2 checked bags per person. We came here with the intentions of starting fresh. Lessons learned, prioritize what you are going to ship. We regret not bringing some things because we had to rebuy them here and the costs are starting to add up. You should research how much it will cost to ship a pallet or a container.
Aloha Anyone have experience moving all their "stuff" from one island to another? Looking for any information re: moving a bunch of firearms from Oahu to Hawaii island or Kauai. Any information, help, anecdotes, mo'olelo would be greatly appreciated.
