What our
Customers are saying
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.
-Jack H.Royal Hawaiian mover delivered my household good to Kona from Oahu and they were exceptional and extremely respectful! I have moved many times all over the US and this was by far the best delivery crew I had. I highly recommend Royal Hawaiian movers!

-Edward T.The movers were prompt, professional, and expedient in the delivery of my items. I was pleased with the overall service.
-Kamalani J.Royal Hawaiian Movers are the best it gets. They are great to work with, and make a hard job easier. They are organized and funny and believe me, I have crossed the ocean more than once with them. Only moving company I would use! A big shout out to Liane for calming my nerves.
-Pheobe D.
Contracted to move furniture from Hilo to the mainland; very impressed all the way through from getting the quote to making the arrangements for packing/pickup, and shipping & delivery. A lot of paperwork to fill out...to be expected to make sure everything is in order, but Liane was very helpful to assist with completing the forms. They were able to accommodate the requested pickup day/time and the crew was very efficient in packing things up with care. Shipping/delivery actually went quicker than expected, and the delivery crew brought everything in, unpacked, inspected (no damage...even a fragile glass table top came through unscathed), and hauled away the packing material. Pricing was very fair and courteous communication helped everything go smoothly. Moving companies can be sketchy but I would rate RHM an A+ for customer service, execution, and trustworthiness. Mahalo nui loa...RHM no ka oi!
-Gordon L.
The Gents were fast and efficient. They handled all of our possessions with care and were able to finish ahead of schedule. They catered to our requests and made sure we were all set before leaving. Highly recommend their services.

Michael B.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. They were professional, quick, efficient, and organized.

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.

And if you’re moving from Hawaii to the mainland, we can help with transport and storage on that end, too, through our sister company, Approved Freight. 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.
