How long does it take to get my stuff to Hawaii? It’s always a good idea to ask what the normal transit time is for your move. It can vary drastically from company to company. You’ll probably run into some companies that can take up to a month or longer to move your stuff to Hawaii! Here’s a little insight into the differences between companies you might choose when moving to Hawaii. Rental Trucks Oops, can’t do that. There is this big thing called the Pacific Ocean. Just checking to see if you were paying attention. Moving on… Full Service Hawaii Moving Companies Hiring a full service company to move everything for you sounds convenient. They pack, load, unload – you just sit back and watch. When it comes time to make the reservation, you’ll probably hear that it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 days to get your stuff delivered to you in Hawaii. If your fill up either a 20 ft. or 40 ft. ocean container, more than likely you’ll get it there earlier than later. But, if you’ve got too much for a 20 ft. container and not enough for a 40 ft. container, you might be waiting a while (a 3 bedroom home will usually need more than a 20 ft., but won’t fill up a 40 ft.). If you can’t fill the container up, the moving company will typically co-mingle your goods with another shipment. Usually, if there isn’t one moving in that direction when yours needs to move, they’ll wait until they get a full container load. Note to self – if you choose this option, take extra clothes and find some things to do in Hawaii to pass the time. U-Pack Because U-Pack is a division of ABF Freight System, Inc., we move your items along with commercial freight. (That is unless you are loading into your exclusive-use ocean container) So, if you have a small shipment and use a ReloCube or two, we can place them into a large ocean container and place commercial freight in the container as well. We ship these containers out of California twice a week, so you should have your shipment in Hawaii about a week after we get it to California. And if you are using a full container (whether it be a 20ft, 40ft or 45ft container), it will also be in Hawaii about a week after it arrives in California. Sounds like the best option to me! Note to self -Take a swimsuit and find the best beaches in Hawaii! |

Derek: Thank you for the post. I found it just in time for deciding!
I am currently arranging & been working on my relocation to HI in 2 weeks. Your post on time lines helped me determining on the overall transit time. Thank you sooo much.
