Hawaii Shipping Container Prices To And From The Mainland. Once your shipment is booked with a carrier, your moving process will probably look something like this:
All your household belongings are packed into moving boxes or crates. Larger items such as furniture are wrapped to protect them from dirt and scratches.
A shipping container is hauled by a big-rig truck to your old home, where it is unhitched from the truck and left on its trailer (approximately 4 feet off the ground).
Your moving boxes, crates, and wrapped furniture are wheeled/carried up a ramp and loaded inside the container. NOTE: Shipping containers don’t usually come with a ramp, lift-gate, tie-downs, or packing materials, so make sure the movers you hire have all the necessary supplies and equipment. A 12-foot ladder is also very handy for loading items all the way to the top of the container.
The big-rig truck comes back, hitches onto the trailer, and hauls the loaded container to the shipping port.
At the port, your shipping carrier processes and loads your container onto the ship.
The ship sails to Oahu.
If necessary, your container is unloaded from the ship at the port in Oahu and transferred to an inter-island barge to sail to a neighbor island.
Upon arriving at its final destination, your container is unloaded from the ship and processed by your shipping carrier.
The container is loaded onto a trailer and hauled by a big-rig truck to your new home, where it is unhitched and left on its trailer.
Your belongings are unloaded from the container, down a ramp, and into your new home. NOTE: Once again, you’ll need to get a ramp, and a 12-foot ladder will make unloading easier.
All your moving boxes and crates are unpacked, and your furniture is unwrapped and moved into place.
The big-rig truck returns to pick up the empty container and hauls it back to the shipyard.
