Hey Ssgt -
Thanks for the "reach around" - I appreciate it. What the hell are you doing?
Shipping from Hawaii does not cost $3-$5 thousand dollars! It does if you put the vehicle on a canoe, and you have to give a few extra dollars for beer money to the two guys who have to paddle their way to California.
Let me correct the good Ssgt:
It cost $1,000 to be shipped from Oahu, Hawaii to Long Beach via Matson shipping. The vehicle takes approximately 3 weeks to get there. Matson does not offer enclosed containers, but it can be purchased for an extra $200.00.
It cost $2,100 to be shipped from Oahu, Hawaii to Fort Lauderdale, Florida via Horizon shipping. The vehicle takes approximately 4 weeks to get there. Horizon ships all vehicles in enclosed containers.
If one was selling a vehicle in Hawaii, don't you think that the applicable research regarding shipping would have been already done?
I've been in the Navy for 19 years and I have been stationed in San Diego for 15 years and Hawaii for 4 years, so I have seen plenty of vehicles shipped to and from the mainland.
So Ssgt - posting a reply with regards to something that you have very little knowledge of, and I will draw your attention to the word "little", well, was not very smart on your part.
Warm regards,
Frank
