Beware - some people don't understand that there IS slow-boat shipping to/from Hawaii, and all the shipping services can be a little deceptive about that. You have to make sure that something to/from Hawaii is going by air, because the slow boat takes 2-10 weeks. (they will only quote you the best case senario) Yes, I've waited 10 weeks for a package that got on the slow boat once.
Don't you also have that weird import rule where foreign items have to go to the mainland USA before they go to Hawaii?
Also, I've had things ship pretty fast from China to Canada and then get stuck in a customs backlog for 6+ weeks too.
