Rob,
Thanks for your reply.
Most suppliers here in N. California, where I live part of the time, do stock many of the more common LVL's and special orders are generally available within 24 hours. There are local wholesalers in most large to mid-sized cities (smaller than Hilo).
It took awhile for many builders to start using these, but now they are used often as a matter of course, due to their ability to carry heavier loads than dimensional lumber.
I suppose that there is not enough demand in Hawaii to warrant wholesale availability.
