<p>They showed up early and immediately got to work. They accounted for all our items and safely and gently unpacked them in the desired rooms. They also removed all the packing material quickly and efficiently. I was happy with their performance and professionalism.<br><strong>-Matthew C</strong></p>

<p>They were so efficient, careful and professional! I'm a local girl, my husband is military and he's been through numerous moves but, Nino and his team was the best movers he had! Like true local style, we had to get these guys some breakfast bentos from Zippy's to show gratitude for moving our things with such care. I hope when we receive our household good here in Washington, I hope to have a team like Nino, Raymark and Brayden to help us with our things. Thank you guys for all your hard work!<br><strong>-Eriel V.</strong></p>

<p>Having dealt with various moving companies and their crews in the past 30 years, I can confidently say that this crew from Royal Hawaiian Movers was exceptional. They worked tirelessly for a whopping 12 hours, displaying an incredible work ethic. It was evident that they took great pride in their work and were dedicated to ensuring the safe transport and unpacking of my belongings.<br><strong>-Coleman Skillingstad</strong></p>

<p>I was beyond impressed with Royal Hawaiian Movers and the exceptional job they did with our delivery/unpack. Communication prior to the delivery day was wonderful and the crew was on time, courteous, and efficient. They were careful with our things and asked where I would like items placed. Before they left, they made sure there wasn't anything else I needed and made sure nothing was damaged. During a time of PCS stress, Royal Hawaiian Movers was a beautiful breath of fresh air! I would highly recommend them to anyone.<br><strong>-Sarah Grabill</strong></p>

<p>From the first phone call for an estimate to the last handshake, our moving experience from O'ahu to Big Island was a positive experience. We don't own a lot of expensive stuff, but the movers treated everything like it was fragile treasure. Layers of communication, efficiency, punctuality, kindness, respect, and professionalism were greatly appreciated. Our move was virtually stressless!<br><strong>-Nancy Campbell</strong></p>

<p>I recently relocated from Germany to Oahu and entrusted Royal Hawaiian Movers with the daunting task of transporting my 10,000 pounds of household furniture to my new home. I am thrilled to say that they exceeded my expectations in every way possible, and I wholeheartedly give them a well-deserved five-star rating!<br>From the moment they arrived, the Royal Hawaiian Movers team impressed me with their friendliness and professionalism. They genuinely cared about ensuring my satisfaction and repeatedly asked for guidance on where items needed to be placed or moved. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly stood out.<br><strong>-Coleman Skillingstad</strong></p>

<p>If I could give more than 5 stars I would. From the first contact, the phone call to arrange delivery to the delivery itself, Royal Hawaiian could not have been more friendly or more accommodating. When our schedule did not allow a planned two day delivery, our contact at Royal Hawaiian checked with her manager and arranged for 5 people to be assigned to get the unpacking done in one day. The crew we had was so friendly and helpful. Who hugs their movers when they are done and ready to leave. From placing furniture where WE wanted it to piling boxes in the garage for us to go through at our leisure, every request was met with a smile and 'an of course we can do that.' For anyone moving from the mainland, we would recommend having Royal Hawaiian be part of your delivery team at this end of your journey.<br>-Jack H.</p>

<strong>Michael B.</strong>Royal Hawaiian Movers did an excellent job packing our household goods. They answered all my questions and when they were unsure of specific things that needed to be packed, they made sure to ask before doing anything.

Your freight, your calendar
Sailing twice weekly to every Hawaiian island means that we can get your goods from port-to-port, warehouse-to-warehouse, door-to-door, wherever-to-wherever how and when you need them to be there.
We can schedule everything for you in a way that best serves your personal schedule or business moving needs: from the initial move from a mainland warehouse or home, to packing your goods or belongings in an LCL container, to offloading all cargo at a final destination, to delivery and unloading of cargo at that final destination.
As your LCL shipping partner, we fully understand that we’re on your schedule, and we plan and execute according to your timeframes.

This means you’re in the same basic hands for the duration of your move and will benefit on the mainland from teams using the same processes and exercising the same security protocols as our island-based warehouses and storage facilities.
LCL, FCL, freight forwarding, ocean freight, air freight, and transportation of goods to, from, and among the islands: there’s no one who does it (and does it ALL) better than Royal Hawaiian Movers.
