Freight shipping large objects???

[Jared I]

I need to have a large piece of machinery shipped to me from Oregon. Does anyone know how to go about this or a shipper that will ship from Portland to Hilo? I have shipped cars and containers to Hawaii, but large heavy crate is a little different.

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you need a freight consolidator who will add your item to others going in a container. You can Google for one located in Portland. Or you could try Horizon or Matson. I am sure that they both ship out of the Port of Portland to HI.I don't know if Horizon or Matson do freight consolidation per se or not.

Yep, a freight consolidator (or forwarder as they are sometimes called) is what you need.

I used to live in Portland and one of my former neighbors actually owns a firm in the Pacific Business Park out by PDX that is in this business:

If you call, tell her Gene Leis said to say hi

aloha,
