Anyone shipped via Matson (> Hawaii)?

Not sure where to post this so apologies.

I have a Prinsu rack and a SnugTop shell. I am almost certain I cannot ship the rack on but I am getting mixed reports on the shell being able to stay on. Outside that I know it has to be clean as can be with nothing in it etc.

I would call, and have, and I seem to get a different answer each time.

 

@El Duderino who did you ship with?

 

Shipped with Matson. As long as it’s bolted down they’ll ship. The racks and shells are bolted down so you’re good. I shipped from Honolulu to Seattle in November

 

^This.

My 08 with snugtop went to Oahu (12’) and back to WA (15’) through Matson.

 

Awesome, thanks so much all! I may take off the rack just in case but great to know about the shell!

 

The rack will be fine. I shipped mine with a prinsu up top.

 

This photo is in the actual inspection bay.

 

oh even better, you all rock!

Now let's hope my container actually gets here in CO and I can get to HI (driving to LAX, dogs etc) with everything going on.

 

Moved from Hawai’i, to the mainland a few months ago and didn’t have one issue even flying with my bulldog and firearms. You’ll be alright

 

Sadly I wish I could fly normally with my dogs...I have pugs so it has honestly been the biggest pita of the entire move. There is a cargo flight (Pac Cargo) that will get them there but they only fly to and from LAX/HON (hence me having to drive to LA). Toss in closing on a home, the move, and a global pandemic and has been quite fun

 

Hawaiian airlines flys them no problem. Just has to be a non stop flight

 

I had to sign a waiver saying I wouldn’t sue them if my English bulldog died

 

I think coming back to the mainland they will allow short nose dogs but going there I was shot down by every airline including HI Air. It's all good I am actually ok with the cargo company as they are behind the pilot and climate etc is normal. My 2 are pretty old so going underneath would be fairly risky for these two knuckleheads

Mahalo

 

I want to go back so bad

 

Left in November after living there almost my whole life. Best choice every lol

 

I left back in 09 (was supposed to only be two yrs now going on 10) was only there 5 yrs but it’s the only place I felt at home

 

Same miss the food/surfing

 

What changed for you?

for me it’s all- food, people, beauty, way of life… and the fucking weather!

I live at the beach here in Florida and it’s completely different (not in a good way) the beaches suck in comparison, it gets too damn cold for me and the humidity is near unbearable.

 

In Maui the average single family home price is 850,000

And for some strange reason the rapidly changing infrastructure is poorly engineered and never thought out.

But it's still home, and I love her.

 

I stayed on the windward side and worked night shift at homedepot and nex so I know about the chronics and homeless.

It was some of my best years. i was kinda taken in by a local waimanalo family so I got the ins and outs basically. Housing cost is definitely High. I stayed on lanai also and that was More mellow
