    The movers greeted us with a Welcome Pineapple :)
    Jolene L.

    Oh the journey this has been! We moved back to Honolulu in April 2024. Our belongings were packed up nicely and crossed the Pacific Ocean. The 6 crates made it safely to the dock in May 2024 and then our journey really began. We had tenants from hell that didn't want to leave our house. So instead of being able to receive our things, we had to have Royal Hawaiian Movers keep it in their temporary storage. Week after week, we kept in communication with them regarding the formal eviction of the former tenants and fortunately we were able to keep penciling in a delivery date. Well, weeks turned into months of temporary storage and Royal Hawaiian Movers were so understanding to push back the delivery date with every unfortunate update I had. Not only is a formal eviction a long process, but the former tenant left our house totally TRASHED!!! Here we are in August 2024, after a full house restoration, yes...BIOHAZARD was involved...the house is now our home again. Royal Hawaiian Movers arrived as scheduled. The driver checked in with us the day before delivery and the morning of delivery. Three men showed up in uniform and we did a quick walk through to show them the different rooms. They laid down a protective runner from our front door through the living room to the kitchen. My easy task was to check off the item number from the inventory sheets as they unloaded 147 pieces from 6 crates. They were very careful not to drop anything. They were very efficient in the way they took our things off the truck and unwrapped things in our garage. They were very strong and carried everything inside without scratching the walls or floors. And, they were very tidy in removing all packing material before they left. Big Mahalo to Royal Hawaiian Movers for the Welcome Pineapple and a complete professional move in. Our family is extremely grateful for their patience and understanding through our ordeal with the former tenant and constantly changing the delivery date. It is SO good to be reunited with our things and being able to fill our home....finally :)

    We moved from LA back to Honolulu. We've spent tens of thousands of dollars for their services, but it was so worth it. They wrapped our things in LA and while they were here, their Hawaii workers were strong, professional and efficient. They brought our things to every room we wanted and removed packaging for us and disposed of it. The workers listened to what we wanted and were respectful. With the exception of one broken leg of a desk, there wasn't anything else broken. I hate moving and never want to do it again, but I must admit, this company made it easier for us. They moved a 40 ft container full of items into our house within 4 hours. We offered water to the movers, but they declined. However, poor guys had their work truck break down on them when it was time to leave. All they asked us was to take a quick nap in our garage while they waited for a tow. Being a mover is so physically demanding on your body so of course we said yes! They worked quickly and very hard, no way would I say no. They are full service and offered to help us unpack our things and to remove all of the cardboard. Thank you! You made our lives easier and less stressful with moving.

    This review was based on the small inter island move job my company did with this week. WOW! AMAZING SERVICE I have dealt with many moving companies in the past and usually the sales/office staff of course are great and provide good customer service. That tends to change once the work crew actually arrives to do the work. Not in this case! 1) The follow up from this company is amazing! One of our items they took it upon themselves to measure before arriving to our office and informed us it would not fit in the elevator. Luckily we were able to re-route it to another office. 2) The crew that arrived to delivery the file cabinet were SO professional! They were even in nice aloha shirts~ get out!!! Movers??? That is awesome!! It is very easy to just "go to work for a paycheck" and not really "care" about your job. We truly felt that this crew took pride in what they do and how they interact with their customers. It was evident they value their working relationship with Royal Hawaiian Movers and valued us as a customer. They went over and beyond just to deliver this one file cabinet. Thank you guys so much!!!

    Gone is my love affair with Royal Hawaiian - where I previously sung their praises from the rafters, I just receive my shipment in Virginia and realized exactly how poorly they performed. When we left Hawaii, Royal Hawaiian had scheduled 4 days to perform our pack and load of ~10,000 pounds of HHG. On the evening of Day 1 they stated they were going to get us packed and loaded the next day (Day 2 of 4). We didn't request this and asked them not to rush - we didn't want our belongings damaged. They assured us it wasn't an issue and would be done very easily. At 5 pm on Day 2 they still had significant work to do and surged an additional 3 people to complete the job - which at 9 pm they finally accomplished. The next day we found several oil spots on our driveway left by their moving truck - although they promised to correct this issue, they never did and left us in a lurch with our landlord. Then our household goods arrived today - where do I begin. How about they packed my Waterpik in the same box with the toilet bowl cleaner and toilet plunger - no paper separating anything, just the thing I clean my teeth with laying with the thing I clean poop with. Boxes were overpacked, light boxes placed on the bottom of the stack and crushed, boxes ripped by the poor crate construction, furniture not wrapped and subsequently scratch beyond repair. Let's not forget - that picture of the hand weights are weights just rolling around in the bottom of the crate - they labeled these as being in a box, but no - just rolling around in the crate. Dishonesty abounds. And now I have to clean up the filth they made on my clean belongings. This is just the first 6 crates - we've got 6 more arriving tomorrow so I'll provide an update on how they performed in round 2 - I'm not holding out any high hopes for improved performance. We specifically requested Royal Hawaiian - they were supposed to be the best on the island but I can not and will not endorse Royal Hawaiian - if you see my name attached to a favorable review it was prior to this debacle.

    Royal Hawaiian Movers! Such a great experience using this company! Mahalo!

I will say, I was able to reach someone every time I called for an update or had a question, and the woman I spoke with was extremely nice and had great customer service. I don't know if this is a problem with the delivery company or with Hawaii Car Transport but we were told someone would call to schedule the drop off. I got a call in the morning when the driver was outside of my house! Luckily, I took a sick day and was able to get it. But if I was at the office, I don't know what would've happened. Overall, my family and I wanted to support a local business and we understand that it is a long process shipping a car from Hawaii to the Mainland so expect delays! We paid the amount we were quoted for, no hidden fees/overcharging, car came in great condition, a little dusty, but that's to be expected.

The day before pickup, I called and they confirmed they'd be there at 9am to pick up the vehicle. By 2pm that day, I called and the lady said, "it appears this order was forgotten and no one is scheduled to pick up your vehicle. We can pick it up next week." My flight was 6am the next morning.. When I explained this, she said there was nothing they could do. I had to scramble, find another company, and ask a friend to hold the vehicle for me until it could be picked up. . . Seriously. WTF? Do NOT use this company. This is the pinnacle of unprofessionalism, complete disregard for your time and needs, and unreliable service. Do not buy into the fake reviews. 01/02/2024

I forget the movers names but they were both prompt, handled my items delicately with care, didn't take their sweet time they worked very very hard, disassembled and reassembled a near 50 year old antique silik hutch that I have inherited , they moved everything exactly where it needed to be in my new place, were very polite and respectful and did not damage anything or steal at all. I've dealt with another moving company in the past where I suspected some jewelry went missing. They are the quickest at responses, very reasonable pricing, flexible with their schedules, all in all I am very satisfied and have asked them to move another thing for me as well. 10/10 recommend.

They took a two hour lunch (that I paid for) from 12 till 2. They didn't finish until 10PM and that was only because my wife and I ended up packing 30 percent of the house ourselves. They didn't bring enough packing materials and I had to go to Home Depot and spend a hundred dollars to buy more material. They did an awful job of packing such that almost every box was crushed when we received it. They ruined a $5,000 rug and you can hear broken glass in countless boxes. Lastly, there was no accounting on delivery. A guy with a beat up trailer just showed up and unloaded as quickly as possible. We asked him for some accounting and all he said was "this is all I got." We suspect we are missing a substantial amount of our shipment. A word to the wise... use a different company.
