The plan is to move from Anchorage (Eagle River), Alaska to Oahu, Hawaii in mid January 2016. I plan to sell as much as I can including the vehicles because it seems way too expensive to ship. I would like to take as little as possible utilizing the cheapest method.


For example U-Haul U-Box for 1 box from Anchorage to Honolulu is $7,500. That just sounds too expensive for how small the box is.

UPack.com is about $6,200 for 1 small container.

Any other cheaper ways to ship household items. Any suggestions on how to move would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got here in July 2013, and I have loved every minute, but I'm transferring to Honolulu. I will miss it for sure, but onto new adventures.

Sell everything and hop on a plane and go! All you need there is a pair of shorts and flip-flops and sunglasses.

And I thought the $4,500 price for a box shipped from Florida to Alaska was bad....

Unfortunately, you can't exactly drive to Hawaii....
