Hello, my name is newbie.

Since last spring, I have been helped by UI and encouraged by various shared topics here and have managed to make it this far, but I am beginning to consider moving to the mainland US for the future.

Hawaii ⇄ If anyone has experience moving to the mainland, any recommendations for movers or DIY methods, things to watch out for, etc., etc., I would appreciate any help.
I am a single person, so I don't have a lot of luggage.
The only big thing I have is my car.

Thank you very much.

(May you all be healthy and happy today ! )

It was about 6 years ago, so I can't say it was recent, but if that's OK ・ ・ ・

We used a company called Royal Hawaiian Movers when we moved from Hawaii to the mainland.
https://www.royalhawaiianmovers.com
We used Royal Hawaiian Movers for our move from Hawaii to the mainland.
They were very helpful in giving us a quote and advice on what to do on the day of the move
We packed a lot of our stuff ourselves and moved it all downstairs. They were very helpful and gave us good advice on what to do on the day of the move They also did a lot more packing than we expected
They came on the day of the move and did a great job.
The workers who came that day were friendly and hardworking.
The price was not cheap, but the service was good and I felt safe, so if there is a next time I will use the same company.

The movers from Hawaii sent my belongings to the mainland ( and they arrived on the west coast ) about a month later.
The local movers, who were probably commissioned by the Hawaii company, did the unloading.
The service was very good, but one of the workers stole one of our precious metals.
We immediately called the police and the movers.
Fortunately, the item had a serial number. A week later, the police informed us that it had been taken to a pawn shop outside the city, and we got it back three weeks later.
The local movers compensated us for the repair.
When the movers enter your home, we recommend that you wear all precious metals and valuables or keep a watchful eye on them with your family at all times.

By the way, you should plan to replace all your furniture and car.
In both cases, you can buy better quality items on a lower budget on the mainland, and if you send them back, you will have to pay for them.
Also, I hear that the size of the couch set etc. is not suitable for mainland homes as they are basically larger than Hawaii.
We also sold our furniture ・ and car, and used a rental car and air bed for a while

When we received our luggage from Hawaii, we put a piece of paper with a number on it in each room where we wanted to have our luggage moved in.
It was very useful to give instructions to the contractors.

That's all I can think of ・ ・ ・

Good luck with your move!
May your new start be the road to happiness !.

Mr. lonsdale
Thank you very much for your detailed information and kind words. !

I have been in contact with various companies since yesterday, but many of them were difficult to reach the person in charge of estimation.
I will contact the companies you told me about as soon as possible. In any case, I think it would be better to minimize my belongings as much as possible. Since this is a good opportunity, I think I will try to cut down my belongings to the bare minimum.

I was surprised about the theft because it was something I had never thought of, but thanks to what you told me, I will be very careful and take countermeasures.

I never thought that the day would come when I would have to think about leaving my beloved Hawaii, but I will definitely come back one day.

I sincerely wish lonsdale and all of you dear ones good health and happiness.
Thank you so much !
