Shipping to Hawaii can be tricky as our website often times calculates the rates to be different than they actually are (whether that be higher or lower). Many times, smaller orders can be packaged into a USPS Flat Rate or Priority Mail box and shipping can be relativeliy affordable. For larger items like kegs, kettles, cold brew systems, kegerators, etc. we're usually forced to use a company like UPS or FedEx, or sometimes a freight company, so in these cases we have to get rates quotes after the order has been placed.
If you place an order with us and you'd like shipping rate confirmation prior to the shipment leaving, just make a note during checkout stating that you'd like us to confirm the shipping rates with you prior to sending the order.
