Aloha, I did everything You're doing but I did it in the 70s. I lived in Pahoa in Lelani Estates from 1973 to 1983. A big difference between now and then.
Jason, thanks for all the info and prices. We’ll be making the trip from Arkansas in a few years and you’re video was def a good baseline. Enjoy that fresh air friend. -Bryce
I did not buy that one was just shipping. Shipping containers on island can range from $3200 to $6000 for a 40’ high cube depending on condition. 20’ containers are actually more expensive for some reason? You can get them on the mainland for much cheaper but then transporting can add up also it has to have a “seaworthiness” certificate to be able to ship to Hawaii. Here though, Big Island Containers is the place or possibly Craigslist from a private seller. Good luck 🤙🏼
In the opening of the video? That’s my own mug lol has my logo on it. I sell them on my website but that particular one isn’t available anymore. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
I hope you're lovin life in Hilo. My daughter did one year at UH Hilo and we both loved it (We're from CA too). The strawberry mochi at Two Ladies Kitchen is no ka 'oi.
Well Toyotas run well so I haven’t had to change any parts the 15 years I’ve had the FJ lol except an alternator but that was my own fault for driving through four feet of water 😅 they do have autozone, oreily’s, etc here on the island so parts is not that bad. If it’s a desired car you might be able to sell it for more on the island but hard to say… 🤙🏼
Not sure but your bike looks familiar I think I saw you riding Saturday on Highway 11. Not just you but about 20 other guys on Harleys Friday morning on 09/16/22 We were on highway 130 then on 11 on our way to the airport
Thanks for taking the time to share your relocation costs. We just dropped a car off at the Port of Oakland shipping to Hilo, (kid living there now). We used Hawaii Car Transport, (Mason area drop off point). I was quoted $1,075 but because I used a credit card, it jacked the price up to $1,107. Then they tacked on and additional $95 for insurance coverage? Ouch! We're still contemplating a move to the Big Island in the near future. Have a full size truck, a Jeep and a quad we'd like to take plus household goods. That's a chunk of change to definitely consider but all in all I guess it's still cheaper than replacing everything in Hawaii paying imported prices. Thanks again. Helpful video!
Jason Fleck I must have watched this 5 times when I first found it a year ago and watching now over and over again. We’re behind you a year and prices to ship vehicles went up $500, ($1,500) since we shipped our daughter’s. We too decided on a 20’ container to move the household goods and gardening equipment. If I could WARN your viewers in advance, DO NOT PURCHASE A CONTAINER TO SHIP!! If you do, expect major headaches, have sea-worthy certified paperwork in hand, AND pay double the costs!! Needless to say we returned the container and went with Matson to coordinate the 20’ container move to Hilo. Costs $6,955. To be fair, we live about 3 hours from Oakland Port. To save another $1,000 we opted to pack our container while the driver waits. 1st hour free once the clock starts ticking and $65/hr thereafter. Consistency in box size is key. Cheapest place selling moving boxes? WALMART. We mapped dimensions of 20’ container with tape on garage floor to be more prepare to properly load. We’re up for the one hour challenge and will update when we hit the island in a few weeks. Thanks again for sharing your experience. Very helpful.
Yes they did raise the price, my Wife only moved down in January and her car was $1500... yes definitely pass on buying the container mainland, but it would still be cheaper lol... 20ft containers on island are $5k and up where a 40ft starts at $3800... glad to see you got everything figured out!
Jason Fleck you cannot believe how much it was going to cost to move our container. $3,200 to purchase what we were told was a seaworthy 20’ container. $700 to get it certified because the company we purchased it from lost the paperwork. $2,000 to truck it to Oakland Port. $5,200 to load it on the ship to Hilo Port and $1,000 to have it delivered to property. All of this plus hours of speaking to Brokers, trucking companies, and Matson personnel. With the clock ticking precious days away trying to make this work, we shifted gears and went with Matson to handle it. If I can help others planning a move out of California to the Big Island because this was one 3-week long head ache.
Well another issue with buying a container is when you get it to where your going you have to have a crane to unload it. Because the traditional method of dropping containers is with a flatbed tow truck and you can’t do that with a container full of stuff lol... I have seen a truck that off loads with mini cranes front and rear on the island but don’t know the cost or company.
Hi Jason, I am thinking of leaving to Hawaii around December, maybe January. I have a storage with all my things and the unit is 5x5x6 and holds all my personal belongings. The things I have are not replaceable so I want them on the island. My question is, any advice on how to ship this stuff? I was also thinking that I could box them in small boxes and use regular PO mail little by little? The most heavy thing is about 40lbs, a guitar power amp. The rest is small items like couple of guitars, couple of solar panels, albums, stuff like that. NO fridges, cars, or furniture.
Hey Mario, I wouldn’t ship them in small boxes it will cost A LOT by the time you ship everything... not sure where your located but Pasha had a service where they will come and pack everything for you and your just charged per pound. If you don’t have much stuff that’s the way to go otherwise I would just search for a freight company the size you described isn’t very big so it wouldn’t be to bad I think. A 20’ container was $6k from LA to Hilo...
Thanks for the video! We're doing our move from Anaheim to Oahu. Running into problems getting our container from Matson to our house and back to the port after we fill it. We can't find a trucking company that will do it. Any recommendations??? They have to be UIIA certified and not many have it. Thanks.
I do not know any trucking companies, I thought that Matson provided that service? At least they did when I shipped my stuff but I know it’s been a few years so maybe things have changed… good luck with the move! 🤙🏼
Thanks for the helpful video. Thinking about moving to Maui from Phoenix AZ. In hindsight do you think it would have been significantly more expensive if you bought new house hold stuff when you got there, instead of paying for the shipping container?
Hey Wade, bring everything you have lol... furniture prices are insane on the island so I suggest bringing everything you have and bring even more stuff if you can fit it and then just sell what you don't need when you get here. I would only bring solid wood furniture particle board Ikea type stuff does not last here. Good Luck with the move! 🤙🏼
We are in the preliminary process of figuring out which direction to go with how we are going to ship our stuff to the Big Island.. Did you consider shipping your car or motorcycle with your household goods in the container or are you satisfied that you shipped them separately? We got quoted for a matson 40' around $9500 and was thinking of having our truck in there along with our household goods. Also, did you have a moving company help you load your household goods into the container? Thanks for your video and your time!
Hello, I did consider putting vehicles in the container the issue is the containers are delivered on a trailer and unless you have access to a loading dock on both ends you cannot put vehicles in and out. The other option is have a crane or special truck that can set the container on the ground which is extra costs at both ends. Depending on your location(mainland) the city may not allow you to put a container on the street which was my situation.
Also I loaded everything into the container myself. And once in Hilo you have to hire a moving company to pick up your container at the port and take it to the drop off I covered that in the video
@@JasonFleckDaHawaiianViking okay, that's what I was wondering about, getting the vehicles in and out...ugh! Also, we don't have space or room to have a container on our property as well so that wouldn't work I guess... thanks for your response!
Jason, I'm not sure if your the same person but where you not living in a minivan also at one point? Anyhow, I really would LOVE to keep viewing your videos and as much logistics of your move. I currently in Mexico looking at buying land and farm (nothing big, I'm on a very limited income) but if nothing strikes me as "THIS IS IT" here, then its off to the Big Island. Yes, I have been there many times, and yes I have rented in the jungle, I'm aware of all the prices and cost of living, I'm not worried.
hello Mario, thanks for watching, I have never lived in a van so that wasn't me. I will be posting everything I do but it may be slow since it does require time and money. 😁🤙
Hey, I can't seem to find the company you mentioned who gave you the lower quote... Mahara, or something like that? I'm also curious why you didn't choose them as an option if it was more economical. thank you
It was Mihara Transfer Incorporated, 808-935-1597 That was the cheapest and also the one I used of course… 🤙🏼 That was the company just to pick up the container at Hilo port and take it to my storage.
Jason Fleck I am also moving to the Big Island from Buena Park (bordering Cypress). Your video was very informative for our process. Was the actual cost of purchasing shipping container 6k or was that the shipping costs and container? We are doing similar things as you are doing. Our plans are to move in late October, early November to Hawi. Shipping some furniture and two of our vehicles. Selling our home after 30 years. Mahalo, Don
Don Vierstra Hello and thanks for watching! The cost was only for shipping cost, you do not get the container lol I wish you did... unfortunately you cannot really deliver a container that is full of stuff with out a lot of additional costs. basically you would have to hire a crane to move it and also have a place to put it... Good Luck with your move!
Great Video Jason, I have a question, what kinda paperwork you need to fill to re register your car? i cant find any videos yet regarding the paperwork and getting Hawaiian licence plates.
You will need your registration and a bill or utility that has your mailing address. Process is simple you get a temporary registration then you have to take your car to get a safety check which costs about $20 and then back to the DMV office to get your plates. 👍🏼
It was with Matson, the roof rack doesn’t matter it’s the overall height of the vehicle and that just means they charge more if it’s taller for an “oversized” vehicle. 🤙🏼
I was told back in the day they allowed that but not anymore lol... you have to wash and vacuum your car before dropping it off now. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
one Islander recommended taking lots of pictures of your car, inside and out, he said it looked like they put an engine into his car, ripped the seats, headliner, oil, and possibly antifreeze all over the inside,deep scratches on the outside, and because he didnt have pictures they company denied any responsibility, and he got nothing
Mahalo Jason, I watch this video periodically because I Know my day is near. I may be moving to my home in Hawaiian Beaches, Pahoa from Buena Park, Ca. Can Matson ship the motorcycle from their Long Beach port to Hilo? I would hate to sell my Harley, and plan to gift my KLR650 to my kids. Any special information will be much appreciated. I will say Aloha to you if I see you at the market place.
Hello, I actually drove my Harley down to San Diego and it shipped from there. They don’t ship motorcycles from Long Beach. There’s a part of the video where I’m dropping my bike off. Good luck with the move! 🤙🏼
Yes it’s empty because they no longer allow it. The cars are basically unlocked on the boat and theft is an issue. They use to allow it from what I was told.
No you don’t own it. You can purchase a container and ship it but have to make sure all the seaworthiness tags are up to date or they will not ship it. 🤙🏼
I go over the costs at the end of the video. If your talking about buying a container it varies depending on where you live but can range between $1000-$5000 depending on size and condition. Also keep in mind if you have a loaded container you have to pay additional to have it offloaded with either a crane or lift trailer because it will be full of stuff....
I talked to Matson and it sounds like they do not sell containers and will not ship your own container(?). If anyine knows better about this let me know... I checked with a few companies and have not found anything cheaper than $10k to ship (from nc). Still looking!
Matson will ship but it has to have seaworthiness certification. I wouldn’t hire Matson to go from east coast to west coast just look for a regular shipping company to basically point A to Point B type shipping. But then again $10k doesn’t seem that bad really? I paid $6k just to go from SoCal to Hawaii… Good Luck! 🤙🏼
@@JasonFleckDaHawaiianViking sweet, thank you so much for a speedy reply! Wife wants to move there by late 2022 or early 2023. So I’m looking into everything now to help give us an idea on how much everything would cost.
How long did your container take to arrive in hawaii? We’ve already moved here in april this year. Just waiting to close escrow on a property and we’ll ship our stuff out.
