Shipping Package to Hawaii

[Tsunami982]

hi i am thinking of shipping something to a friend in hawaii and wanted to know if postage rates (USPS, UPS, Fedex) are more expensive since there is no ground service to get there. also, which carrier would be cheapest to send something that should weigh about a pound and is the size of a shoe box (i checked the usps calculator but someone told me that the rates to hawaii/alaska are off).

any help would be appreciated. thanks.

If you send it by carrier fish it's ubber cheap but you'd better package it well.

Its mad expensive. Just build a boat and sail it over yourself.

just kidding. I have no idea, google for a shipping cost estimator

USPS Priority is usually the better deal than UPS. Fedex will only do overnight.

UPS and FedEx will only do air freight srvices which includes 2nd day air also

depending on weight and size.

I can ship basic things to Japan in 3-5 days for under $30...if a large envelope about $9.

It should be more expensive. How much more? I don't know.

The USPS, UPS, and Fedex websites should have estimates.

Why post a thread when you can do a rate estimate at UPS/USPS/Fedex/DHL

Priority mail isn't much more expensive than to anywhere else, and if you put it in a flat rate box it will cost you...ta da...the same flat rate as to anywhere else

you can ground with FedEX or UPS to Hawaii if they are business addresses. There are a couple more exeptions that are hard to calculate online.

because i heard that those postage calculators dont account for the fact that there is no groud service there and therefore are off. i just posted here to see if anyone knew for sure.

I shipped to alaska and hawaii by usps, the rate seemed to be the same just as I would ship from east coast to west coast.
