Container sharing tradition

[csgray]

I have a friend on the Kona side who has bought space in other people's containers several times to ship building materials over from Oregon where no sales tax and better availability for certain products makes it worth it, she also shipped over everything she needed for her new kitchen along with her personal stuff when she first moved over. My friend had the materials delivered to the container and loaded straight into the container, then she added her own goods. I also knew people who topped off their own container with building materials for resale to people who were building here on the Island. If you are building a new house and the timing works, I would look at filling your container with things like your cabinets, wood flooring, windows and other items which seem quite expensive here. The beauty of building materials is they are easy to pack shapes, unlike an assortment of household goods.
