Ralph, thanks for explaining.
It seems odd to me that they don't bring a ramp as part of the delivery service, when they do bring a ramp on the mainland end for loading (or did for us).
As I said, when we shipped over, Matson's part ended at the port. Sounds like things have changed. That was seven years ago.
We were in Waikoloa and we hired Kona Trans to deliver and unload our container. They had a guy who picked up our big and incredibly heavy Sony TV by himself and took it upstairs without breaking a sweat, even though it was middle of summer in Waikoloa. (That was a two man TV.) They had the whole container unloaded, upstairs and in place in 2-3 hours, so I definitely felt it was worth it. Hope you find someone like that guy to help you out.
