Look in the Yellow Pages for companies that ship to Hawaii. You can also try the same search online. It should be no problem finding several different ones from which to choose. A few reputable companies that provide Hawaii relocation services are Matson, Universal Transportation Services, Pasha Hawaii and Horizon Lines.
Talk to the different organizations to see which one makes you feel the most comfortable. You might also check around with any friends that might have moved to or from Hawaii to get their opinions. Don't go with the cheapest solely based on price. Look for the best value with regard to service and positive reviews.
It is best to go with a company that ensures that your belongings will be shipped under cover because seawater can harm your belongings. Many companies offer large shippable containers. They will drop them off at your house, you load them, then they transport them to the shipyard and load them on the boat for the island.
Some companies ship door-to-door while others take your belongings from port to port. Be sure you know exactly what the company you decide to go with does. A fairly typical shipping price is $5,000.
