Amazon S-L-O-W shipping
#21
Amazon doesn't ship items to Hawaii via parcel post. They use Parcel Pool. Parcel Pool is an independent freight forwarder that uses a combination of different shipping techniques (whatever is cheaper, but usually not the barge) and delivers it to the USPS sorting facility in Honolulu. From there it gets delivered to your USPS address on the big island (usually the next day). Parcel pool usually takes 7-10 days from Amazon to you. Parcel Pool is a freight forwarder, not affiliated with USPS other than whatever negotiated contract they have to get items from the USPS sorting facility to your USPS address via the postal service.

FedEx Ground and SmartPost DOES use the barge. Depending on when your item gets to the dock it could take 2-3 weeks or 4 weeks to get to you. SmartPost travels via FedEx channels to the barge and from there it gets sent to the USPS sorting facility and from there is handled like Parcel Pool.

The USPS abandoned the use of the term Parcel Post over a year ago. The current terminology they use is "Standard Post" though since abandoning the term they have also used the term "parcel select" but I think that was a marketing name.

Amazon also uses first class and Priority mail.
