I will be shipping half a 40' container of household from Salt Lake City to Hilo next June. Can buy a hi-cube, certified 40' here for approx. $2500. Matson currently wants $4462 port to port with their box or mine. Private trucking from Salt Lake City to Oakland or Long Beach is approx. $1300. Matson rail is approx. $2600. So my cost, SLC-Hilo is +-$6000 including deliver to HPP. I could buy a 40' hi cube and sell in Hilo to help defray the costs (I bought one two years ago in Keauu from Kimo for $4800) and/or I can find someone to share a load. I would like to avoid the potential hassle/drama of shared containers but don't want to spend $6000. Don't recommend leaving the useless stuff here as my wife is having it, end of that discussion. ????????????
