Our stuff is at-sea coming from the SF Bay Area. We used Movers Pak-Man Hawaii Express. We've contracted with them for door-to-door service. They packed the 20' container (to the gills!). It was picked up in Mtn View, CA on 5/23 and is due to arrive in Hilo on 6/12. I think it shipped from the Oakland/Alameda area (Matson?). It seems to be a bit less than 3 weeks on the ship, and probably 3 weeks including delivery. I'm counting from the probable shipping date of 5/25. Pak-Man claims a total ship time from 3 to 6 weeks. Sorry, I don't know who the contracting mover is on this end. The latino crew of four who packed the container did an excellent, careful job. I bought them lunch and tipped them $20 each, which probably wasn't much, but I did appreciate their conscientiousness.
I'm not sure if having movers deliver only to your front yard saves you much when you consider you and your wife's backs. Personally, I've done more than enough heavy lifting for this move than I cared to do. I'm more than happy to let the pros do their jobs.
