media mail from hawaii - DTisme - 01-25-2012 Anyone ever send via media mail from Hawaii? Any idea how long it took? Does it go by boat like parcel post or plane? RE: media mail from hawaii - hrooster - 01-25-2012 I send media all the time. Yes, it goes by boat, and waits until there is a full container before shipping. Often takes 4-7 weeks to the mainland. (edited to add that occasionally I'm pleasantly surprised that an item is delivered in less than a week) http://the-hroost.com RE: media mail from hawaii - macuu222 - 01-25-2012 about 6 to 7 weeks weeks. Pretty sure just about everything goes air out of here. It's just a matter of when. Make sure you package it very well. It gets banged around pretty good. RE: media mail from hawaii - KeaauRich - 01-25-2012 Well, when I sent a package from Keaau Post Office, I was asked if I wanted it to go by plane or boat, so I think hrooster is correct. RE: media mail from hawaii - Seeb - 01-25-2012 8 to 12 weeks heading this way RE: media mail from hawaii - Carey - 01-25-2012 we shipped 81 boxes in a mix of parcel & media mail when we moved here & have since had quite a few books (mainly university textbooks) shipped media mail.... Time frame have ranged from 3 weeks to 11 weeks... One caveat, media mail must comply with the rules & restrictions on this link: https://www.usps.com/ship/media-mail.htm RE: media mail from hawaii - missydog1 - 01-25-2012 Post Office told me it goes by boat like a parcel, as others have said. |
