Thanks. It’s was around $900 via matson. All went really smoothly. They did a great job. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
That’s a bargain, cost me more to get a car to California. Love the F430 spider. Has aged so well, and stunning exterior.
$900 is a good price. I have shipped 3 cars from Seattle to Honolulu in the past years, $1,100 each time. I have shipped one car back to Seattle from Honolulu and was cheaper at $870. Those were all through Matson. I also have shipped commercial buses from LA to Honolulu recently but that is a whole different game right there! $8k + through PASHA. The experience through PASHA was marginally better, not great by any means though.
How well do you guys think the longshoremen treat Ferraris before and after it’s on the ship? I wonder if they’re too busy to do a little drive around the docks or are some burn-outs part of the white-glove service?
I was super concerned at the f430 getting damaged. Was super relieved when it arrived in top condition. And they were super helpful on getting it jumped. I’ll check the price. I remember thinking it was cheaper than I’d expected. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I was totally visualizing them racing around the docks. Very Ferris Buehler scene. The mileage seemed ok and there was no Damage. I got the impression they took good care of it so as not to deal with the wrath of an annoyed owner. Everyone I spoke with were interested in chatting on the car. Second time I shipped a car. So might just be luckily occurrence. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I've shipped cars to and from Honolulu by Matson and Pasha. And if you check my thread below, you can see what it was like to ship my 360 here by air freight: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/shipping-a-car-by-air-to-hawaii.556922/ No matter how you do it, it is always a source of some concern, I suppose!
When I shipped my F355 to Honolulu 4 years ago someone pressed what must have been every button in the vehicle. My car arrived with a completely dead battery after a 10-12 day trip. Jumping it at the port was kind of a pain and it delayed me getting the car also. When I jumped it there the hazards were flashing among other things. When I got it home I found that the overhead light was on. Someone pressed the button on the center console for the overhead light on the car when it was shipped and the light was on the whole trip. Hence my dead battery. Welcome to Hawaii for me, lol
