Why shipping to Hawaii is so challenging for e-commerce in 2025
Shipping to Hawaii can feel like navigating a maze—high costs, long transit times, and limited options frustrate even the most experienced e-commerce shipping businesses. But in 2025, smarter solutions exist that remove the friction of reaching customers in the Aloha State—providing a strong alternative to competitors.
1. Understand the Hawaii small parcel shipping landscape
Though Hawaii is part of the U.S., it sits over 2,000 miles from the mainland—creating unique logistics challenges. Most national carriers treat it as a remote destination, leading to:
- 5+ day shipping timelines
- Costly surcharges
- Limited service levels
To serve Hawaiian customers effectively, you need an e-commerce shipping solution built for non-continental delivery.
2. Compare carriers: not all shipping options are equal
Traditional carriers may offer reliability, but it often comes at a high cost—especially for parcel shipping. Meanwhile, lower-cost alternatives can be inconsistent or too slow.
IB Non-Con delivers the best of both worlds:
- Affordable rates to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, APO/FPO, and U.S. Territories
- Fast, 2–5 day delivery times
- No subscriptions or long-term contracts
This makes it an ideal fit for businesses of all sizes looking to expand their reach beyond the mainland.
3. Optimize shipping to Hawaii for cost and speed
To succeed with e-commerce shipping to Hawaii, optimization is key. Here’s how IB Non-Con shipping helps:
- Leverage non-continental shipping routes specifically designed for remote U.S. destinations

- Use intuitive tools to print labels, manage shipments, and maintain full visibility
- Tap into IB’s infrastructure across the Hawaiian Islands for consistent, reliable service
