Flexible Shipping Options
Choose from full containers, lift vans, or less-than-container solutions depending on the size of your move or your budget.

Our teams walk you through shipping timelines, pet relocation requirements, and building-specific moving rules to ensure a hassle-free transition.

What to Know Before You Move
Four-Season Living – Be ready for hot, humid summers, colorful falls, snowy winters, and rainy springs. Investing in weather-appropriate clothing and gear is a must.
Traffic & Commuting – The D.C. metro is one of the most congested in the U.S. Many people rely on the Metro rail, MARC/VRE commuter trains, and buses to avoid traffic.
Housing Differences – Expect smaller row homes in D.C., condos in Arlington, and larger suburban homes in Maryland or Fairfax. HOA rules, parking permits, and building move-in restrictions are common.
Parking & Permits – In D.C. and dense areas like Arlington or Bethesda, street parking is limited. Some moves require temporary moving permits—we’ll guide you through this.

What to Know Before You Move
Island Pace of Life – Daily life in Hawaii is slower and more community-centered than the fast pace of D.C. Expect stronger neighborhood ties and cultural traditions.
Downsizing – Many D.C.-area families live in larger homes, but Hawaii housing often means smaller condos or single-family homes. Downsizing can save significantly on shipping.
Car Shipping Choices – Northern Virginia and Maryland residents often rely on cars. Decide whether to ship yours to Hawaii or purchase locally in Hawaii’s active used car market.
Outdoor Lifestyle – Trade long commutes and seasonal weather for year-round outdoor activities. Many movers find they need fewer clothes and more gear for beaches, hiking, and water sports.
Different Cost Structure – Groceries, fuel, and utilities are higher in Hawaii, but you’ll no longer need winter heating, snow removal, or Metro commuting costs.
Cross-Cutting Tips
- Timing Matters – East Coast winters can delay shipments; summers are peak season for Hawaii moves. Book early for best schedules.
- Pet Relocation – Hawaii enforces strict animal quarantine rules—plan well in advance if moving with pets.
- Storage Options – Consider short- or long-term storage on the mainland or Hawaii if you’re not moving everything right away.
