Moving from Honolulu FAQs

Moving across an ocean can invoke many questions. That’s why we created a short list of the most common ones customers have when moving from Honolulu.  

How much does it cost to move from Honolulu?

Every move is different — especially one that requires ocean shipping — so there’s no set cost. Instead, the price will depend on where you’re moving to, how much you’re moving and when you’re moving. The best way to determine the cost is by getting an online quote.  

How long does it take to move from Honolulu to the mainland?

Shipping time will vary based on the company you choose. Full-service movers can take up to a month to deliver your household goods, whereas U-Pack shipments typically arrive in 9-16 business days.

When should I move?

Moving during off-peak times may reduce the cost. These are the fall or winter, at the beginning of the month, or in the middle of the week.

Can I get help loading and unloading in Honolulu?

Yes! U-Pack can refer you to a network of experienced moving labor in Honolulu to help you load everything or just the heavy stuff. You can talk with one of our moving experts for more information.  

What about storage options?

If you need storage, we have options. Store your belongings in a ReloCube at the Honolulu Service Center or the service center closest to your destination. When speaking to a U-Pack representative, mention storage, and we’ll help you explore your options.
