When I register online as a Sam's Club member
, I get a message that says "Please register your credit or debit card for debit".
My question is, if I use a Japanese credit card, I will be charged
and if I don't use a US credit card, I will be charged
？ Please tell me if you know anything about this.

#2's advice is good ！

If you live in Hawaii,
you have a bank debit card.
If you can't pay by Japanese credit card,
you can pay by debit card.
I know an American who lives in Hawaii and is a member of Sam's Club even though he does not have a credit card
.

I am on Invisalign here.
I have a friend who also goes there and it has a good reputation.
The cost is cheaper than in Japan even without insurance, and the technology seems to be more advanced and experienced in the U.S. （ It depends on the doctor. It depends on the doctor, but ） I had done it before in Japan and it was about half the cost, although it was my second time.

Dr. Kim and all the staff are very nice and helpful. The manager and some of the staff at Ala Moana speak Japanese. There are no additional charges after the initial payment and they will correct you until you are satisfied. I have one spot that is still bothering me, so it is taking more than 6 months longer than planned, but they are very kind and attentive to my needs. I went to several doctors before deciding on this one, but this one was by far the best. He is a popular and well-known doctor, so it takes time to make an appointment and reschedule, but I recommend it.

Depending on the plan and other factors, geico is cheap if you only need the minimum coverage for bodily injury ・ and property damage.
Although they do not have a good reputation for their response to accidents … …
You can get quotes from several companies on the internet.

I am moving from Hawaii to Mainland. Can I put my moving stuff in the car when I take the car to the mainland? Or does it have to be empty?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me. Thank you in advance.

You can't put anything personal in the car, the only thing you can put in the trunk is the spare tire, and if you are sent by Mattson, you will have to bring your personal belongings back in a box for inspection, and they won't accept a gas tank unless it is less than a quarter of a tank.

We containerized our household goods and car together.
In doing so, I put clothes, dishes, etc. in the car, trunk, and back seat. It may not be possible to deliver only the car, though.
It was cheaper than shipping the household goods and the car separately.

Procedures after transporting a vehicle from Japan to Hawaii

Question

  • 2023/11/14 13:03

I am shipping my car from Japan to Hawaii, but I have already taken the necessary steps to send the car from Japan to Hawaii
and am just waiting for the car to arrive.
I did a lot of research on the procedures after the car arrives in Hawaii, but could not find any details, so I got a quote from a company that said it would cost $ 2,200, but after further research
I found out that if I do everything myself, the cost is not that much. I found out that if I did everything myself, it would not cost that much.
However, the more I looked into the details, the less information I found, so I was wondering if anyone has experience transporting a car from Japan to Hawaii before or knows more about it ！.

I think ？ it might be helpful if you google
"car import procedure from Japan to Hawaii" or something like that.
It seems to be very troublesome, so I think it would be better to ask them to do it for you if you can pay for it.

You definitely need a license plate for the car, and you pay taxes there, so ask Citi ？

My husband bought his car online from Mainland, and he did it himself.　The tax part and the car inspection part are very important.

By the way, it is also important that the car is not an illegal car with American specifications.　If there are any illegal parts, you should be fined.

Sorry, this is a little rough information.

I know you said that no reservation is required for Hawaii residents, but if a resident and a tourist go together, does the tourist need to make a reservation and pay ？
since when a resident and a tourist went together, the tourist was also allowed inside without making a reservation or paying . I was wondering what Hanauma Bay is like and if anyone knows anything about it.

I went with a friend who was able to sightsee.

I don't need a reservation because I am a Loco ID holder, but my friend definitely does.
I checked the name list at the entrance to see who would be coming in what time slot.
I was asked twice if I had a reservation ？ while walking to the entrance and I showed it to them.

For your information.

Has anyone ever sent money overseas to Mizuho Bank using the swift code
on Wise ？
If I send money using this swift code,
will the bank charge the receiver a fee later on? ？
I have sent money privately without using the swift code, but
I don't know if there is an additional fee for using the swift code.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me if you know.
Thank you very much.

I don't know how old your children are, but

my cousin's family came to visit last month with their kindergarten, 2nd grade and 6th grade children.

The children are learning English and we want to expose them to English. Children, all of them can enjoy.
I want them to experience Hawaiian culture.
So,


Kualoa Ranch ・ Aloha ・ Aina

Kaneohe Bay Boat Tour

Since we signed up for the above two tours in English, we got along well with the children participating in the tours and were able to exchange emails with them, which they said was great.

After that, we made friends at the hotel pool, and
invited them to a BBQ next to the pool the next day, which we had planned.

I hope you enjoy it.

I think Kuroneko Yamato was affordable. （ There are some rules such as only one type in the same box, but it was a lot cheaper than the post office for the same weight ）.

I am the one who asked a flight question about the shipping cost of the calendar in #2. I just shipped from the post office counter. One $ was 9.16. The last year I shipped, it was a little over $5.00, so the price had almost doubled, but I thought the price would have gone up more, so I was a little relieved that it was within $10.00 for one. I also noticed while waiting my turn in front of the post office door that there is a scale outside the door and you can follow the directions on the panel to weigh your postage. I will use this next time.
