Appliances Shipping Cost from Hawaii to Chicago, Illinois

If you've ever shipped items to a US territory, you know how difficult the process can be. You think, why is it so much harder to ship to such a destination? It can't be because they're islands. After all, shipping to Hawaii is treated the same as shipping to any other state such as Alaska.

The cheapest way to ship from Hawaii to the mainland is usually USPS Ground Advantage for lighter items or USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes for heavier or larger items, as USPS offers consistent, lower rates across all zones to Hawaii, though you should compare costs with UPS/FedEx Ground for heavier packages (20+ lbs) using online calculators like Easyship.com or DIYTransport.com.

Getting a package from Hawaii to the mainland U.S. can take anywhere from 1-3 days for expedited air (like USPS Priority Express) to 2-8 days with standard air (Priority Mail, Ground Advantage), but if it's shipped via slower, ground/sea transport (USPS Ground Advantage/First Class Package Service), expect a week to over a month, depending on carrier, service, and destination.
