Sorry for another one of these shipping threads, but do any of you /toy/ soldiers know the best package delivery group to use for overseas shipping, specifically from mainland US to Hawaii?

I just sold my first figurine with free shipping but kind of hit a snag when I found out where the private bidder lives, and I really don't want to ruin this...

You could, you know, just go with USPS?

If you go with USPS, it doesn't cost any more to ship to Hawaii than any other US state.

It's going over an ocean, just being literal
Though I guess not really because an ocean and sea are kind of different

I'll probably use them then, I just don't want the figure to break or anything else happen to it. They bid a pretty good amount on it.

Just be sure to pack it well, and use lots of padding. I'm sure it'll be fine, it's just that USPS isn't known for being particularly gentle with packages. And of course, get insurance and delivery confirmation and all that junk, especially if it was an expensive item.

I'm always back and forth between Hawaii and the mainland. I'm always having my family send me stuff from one place to the other and USPS never fails. Standard distance rates apply, but that's relative to where you live. It's no different than sending a package from NY to CA.

Just a followup, from my personal experience I WOULDN'T recommend FedEx or UPS because they have more limited operations in Hawaii (depends on the island). It's not like using the premium services on the mainland. In Hawaii USPS provides better service and faster delivery, usually.

Thanks. I've never shipped to Hawaii before and this is really the first big package I've ever sent to anyone besides money orders and packets of paperwork.

USPS seems like it'll be the best bet, plus there's a post office very close to where I live so I can square things out there.

Just send it via priority mail. Flat rate is same shipping rate, no matter what state. Hawaii is still a state after all, and has been for decades.

Delivery confirmation is a must, but ask the buyer if they want insurance first. If they refuse insurance and don't get the package, it's not your fault. My sister won a figure off of Ebay and it was ripped out of it's packaging, resealed, and still shipped. The seller didn't offer any insurance and they had to offer a full refund. It's unfortunate but that's the way it works.
