Shipping personal items out of the Hayward location to the Honolulu location was a breeze. Both locations provided excellent service. Prompt and courteous. I was able to personally drop off the items in Hayward and personally pick them up in Honolulu without issue. Great shipping provider. I will be using them for sure in the near future. read more

I've dealt with several different shipping companies here before I settled on DHX. Other companies. Never call when you tell them to before they show up. Go to wrong delivery addresses. Lost shipment and dodge my calls for weeks. No follow up and communication. I was getting frustrated trying to find someone reliable who can just do the job right. DHX was my last resort. Ask for John, he is extremely on point and follow up was great from the whole team. Driver was kind and friendly too. Will be sticking with them, after dealing with a world of other services I was losing hope that I would find a company here that could do the job right. If you are getting a mainland company to arrange their own shipment, make sure they don't choose their own, route it to DHX they have hubs in the westcoast. Let them take it from there to Hawaii. read more

I have owned a few businesses in the last 25 years - all of them require dependence on shipping in product. John Takizawa would visit my showroom to check in if I needed anything - knowing that I used another freight forwarding company. He was persistent, however, always very pleasant and respectful. I really appreciated that. Overtime, I decided to give him a shot. We had a project in Kona that involved moving 2500/sf of tile. He did such a good job of coordinating a smooth transaction for us on the big island, we tried a few projects on Oahu. John and DHX Team won my confidence and trust. DHX is now our shipper thanks to John and the amazing service provided by he and the DHX Team. read more

They should really take the express out of their name. This is totally a mainland company that just put "hawaii" in the name to seem more local. They are slow and customer service is terrible. read more

Moved from San Francisco to Hawaii. Since, the Yelp listing for the Hayward location doesn't appear to be working properly, I'm going to first leave my kudos to the team there. Shout out to Theresa, Maureen, and Dantrell at the Hayward location for making my move of personal goods such a stress-free experience. I apologize Theresa for all the emails! Theresa answered all my questions and quickly provided my quote for shipping my goods. Dantrell helped me grab my personal goods from the car to put on the pallet which I appreciated it very much. Just a good guy in my book. Maureen explained all the paperwork I needed to fill out and answered any questions I had. My goods arrived a few days earlier than the estimated time of arrival. Picked up my stuff at the Honolulu location. Unfortunately, I did not get the names of the two nice ladies working the front office. I want to thank you for your wonderful service! I was able to get the name of the guy who brought my pallets out. Thank you Matu! Service to grab my stuff was overall pretty quick. All my stuff arrived with no damage. I highly recommend DHX! read more

Order a bunch of stuff for our move through ULINE, which arrived a week ahead of schedule. They called me the day after rit arrived in port to schedule the delivery. The driver (forgot his name) arrived on the early side of the window and was SUPER patient with me as I unloaded the pallet to get everything inside. Funny guy and I worked quickly so he could be on his way. No issues whatsoever! Everything was in perfect condition, just as ULINE packs. Thanks for being not only prompt but EARLY with the delivery schedule! read more

Needed to ship Hazmat items from Honolulu to Guam. I contacted 3 other freight forwarders and spent hours emailing information back and forth without results or clear answers. DHX was the only company that followed through-- they got my information, provided a clear quote, answered ALL my questions (I had a lot), and just got the job done. PROFESSIONAL, RESPONSIVE, and PATIENT is how I would describe them. If you need a freight forwarder, save time and just go straight to DHX. read more

Worst shipping company ever! They don't give a shit about your things when it's being shipped. We had a 70" TV and two crates for our items. My husband put the TV in the middle so it wouldn't get damaged but the worker there recommended to have the TV on the outside of the other items which we knew was a stupid idea, but he did it anyway. Everything was fine until 3 weeks later and we got our items. Our TV was shattered and they claimed they didn't do it and they "aren't responsible" for the damages that THEY did! The worst fucking shipping company you can ever go to! DO NOT GO TO DHX.. ever!!! Fuckin rip off! ** UPDATE: we just got a letter from them today and they claimed they're not going to refund us or reimburse us for the damages they did!!! read more

Part of my job is getting quotes for shipping to the outer islands. Mainly for loose freight that will be delivered to a home. I can honestly say that everyone I've had the pleasure to work at DHX, regardless of which office they work in. Namely, Kimo in Maui, Tamara, John or Jolynn in Honolulu, and Karron in Kona. They are all professional, helpful, efficient and friendly and even more importantly, they're quick to respond to emails as well as phone calls. And they make sure that whatever they deliver gets to the customer in good condition and in a timely manner. So if you live in Hawaii and find yourself in need of shipping to another island, I would highly recommend Dependable Hawaiian Express! read more

This was my first time using a consolidator freight shipper and I can say that it was an excellent experience. That said, the customer must do her/his homework to understand the process and what is required. I was moving 700 pounds of household items from Hawaii to Arizona. DHX's prices are much better than using a moving company, if you are not shipping a large household. Fortunately, Shyla at DHX walked me through the entire process and without her excellent coaching, I would not have had the confidence to do this. She is superb at her job, both with explaining the procedures, and with follow-up and paperwork. I went to DHX and got a sturdy pallet. It took me a couple of weeks to build and load pallet in my garage. I strongly recommend you watch You Tube videos to understand how to properly stack and shrink wrap a pallet if you have never done so. You must also have your pallet ready for pick up on level ground so it can be easily loaded onto their truck. DHX arrived as scheduled for pick up. My items arrived in Arizona in just 3 weeks! Estes, the trucking company they work with in Phoenix was also professional in their contact and service. They delivered as scheduled, and all of my items were received in excellent condition. Thank you to DHX and especially to Shyla, for such a great experience. read more

I'm going to give DGX air freight a five star review. Nicole was my customer service rep and did a great job estimating my air freight house hold shipment from Honolulu to Arizona. Her communication was excellent and gave me a great experience as my customer service rep. Shipment came on time in Steven days. Delivery was great in Arizona. The drive called me 30 minutes prior to arrival. Five start experience. Thank you Nicole. read more

We had some household goods that we needed shipped from Portland OR. To Honolulu. We knew we didn't want it to take forever on a boat. About 15 boxes total 435 lbs. Dependable Global Express employee Mari V. Based in LA was amazing walking me thru each process, he kept in contact with me and and got my items transported to their warehouse in California where they where then shipped via Air to Hawaii, the items where delivered on a pallet to my home arriving a day earlier than expected, DHX called the day before delivery to set up a delivery time. Driver gave a courtesy call a half hour before delivery. Everything went very smoothly and all in a timely matter. Would recommend this company for your shipping needs. read more

After extensive research into shipping my grandmothers antique sofa from Oahu to California I was fortunate to have found DHX. All parties involved were extremely professional and helped guide me along the way. I didn't think it would be so difficult to find a company that would ship a single furniture item without costing an arm and a leg! Needless to say I highly recommend DXH if you want you're item's shipped with care and as promised. I give a 5 star rating for Angela from the LA office and Kanalani & Lia from the Honolulu office. Shipping with the Aloha Spirit! read more

I have nothing bad, only great things to say about DHX! A friend recently used their service to ship her things when she moved from Oahu to Colorado, & highly suggested them for hassle-free service. Going on her recommendation, I called for a quote. John was extremely helpful in answering all my questions, & the experience truly was quick, easy & painless (which was a welcomed departure from all the stressors moving to the mainland can bring!) We arrived with a UHaul full of household goods, signed some quick paperwork, put the boxes on pallets (4 of them!), wrapped them all in cling wrap, & payed for our things to be shipped from Honolulu, HI to California & then trucked to our front door in Houston, TX. The staff in the office was friendly & welcoming, & from dock to door, our things just arrived in 3 weeks! That's phenomenal if you ask me! And for a price that was far less than any other service we were looking at! I am so pleased with our experience with Dependable Hawaiian Express, and highly recommend them for moving... but I imagine if I was still living on Oahu & needed even one pallet of things shipped, I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks DHX! read more

Excellent service by friendly staff. Rebecah advises and guides the process ensuring satisfaction and gives advice on how to keep costs down. Delivery on time, fast and reliable. Thanks DHX. read more

The service is crap. They work with Furniture Express HI and it's a nightmare. They tell you the items will fit in your SUV then when it doesn't you're left to pay an additional $100 for delivery or if you return you pay $200 for storage fee. Ridiculous and terrible service. Would never use them again. read more

I honestly don't know why anyone would give this company anything less than 5 stars for their stellar service, unless of course they were a competitor or someone paid to do so. I have made furniture for well over twenty years. For my Mainland clients, I have shipped rocking horses, rocking chairs, benches, tables and stools. I always use DHX because they are terrific! They provide door to door service and make this task as easy as it gets. I get a pallet and make a crate for my shipment. Of course, it should go without saying that it is up to you to make sure there is plenty of packing material to secure your articles in the crate to prepare for the sea voyage. They do everything else, from coming to your house to pick up the crate and arranging for a trucker to deliver the crate at your client's home. They will make this arduous task as easy as it gets. You can contact me to verify that I am a bona fide client. read more

Great company to work with. Dependable, excellent service and great prices. John was great to work with and so was everyone else that we dealt with at DHX! I've used them twice already and will be using them again soon. read more

I had a 1/4 container shipped from Emeryville IKEA and DHX lost the headboard for my king sized bed. This piece was marked as "accepted" by DHX, but when it did not appear in Honolulu, the company had me fill out tons of paperwork to "file a claim". (For what I don't know as I never got anything from DHX.) IKEA stepped up and was willing to provide another headboard to DHX, FREE OF CHARGE, so that I could get my whole bed - and what did DHX do? They said they'd have to charge me to deliver it! Can you believe that? Auwe! Never again! :0{ read more

They lost my 3 bikes ship from Hawaii to east cost , extremely slow respond poor customer service ,they blame some another 3 part shipping companys i don't recommend I wasted a lot of money and time read more

I had no problems with my shipping experience with DHX, I shipped two pallets from the dock in Honolulu to my doorstep in Denver CO. Not a lot of freight forwarders will ship household goods overland, but DHX did and the price was quite reasonable. My stuff arrived in the same condition I packed it in, no damaged or smooshed boxes. The people were helpful and friendly at the dock. I recommend! read more

I used DHX to move my family from Maui to Oahu and Oahu to California. I received superior customer service from Gordon Furtado and his team. Moving is stressful but the reliable, cost-effective freight forwarding from DHX allowed my to be relieved of the this stress. The process took months of preparation on my part because of many moving parts but they got it done. Mahalo Nui Loa read more

DHX handles at least 2-3 shipments a week for our company - most inbound from the west coast. We get good communication and good rates. The speed is dependable. Give them a try as you won't be disappointed! read more

worst shipping company ever to exist. they do not care about your packages even if they lose your stuff. everyone should boycott this company. their claim is a joke, and need to be sued for not being liable. read more

DEPLORABLE HAWAIIAN EXPRESS All of the negative reviews on here (well, all of them are negative except one) may be explained by their inefficient business practices, poor employee/employer relations, & EXTREMELY high turnover rate. They spend a fortune in time & money training new employees who end up staying an average of 3-8 weeks.Their drivers don't know how to read a simple delivery order to know how many pieces/pallets they are supposed to deliver, costing more time & money to deliver the rest of the customer's freight. EVERY single person there is thoroughly stressed out & literally obsessed with finger pointing, which means that things don't get fixed, the same mistakes keep happening, & after they're all done arguing & fighting about it, they're too exhausted to actually provide customer service. This also explains why it would have been cheaper to ship a surfboard by FedEx ground than through DHX according to a review on this page.. What you'll really be paying for is a Mercedes like the one he just gave to his daughter for going to college. read more

We shipped our keep sakes from Oregon to Hawaii with dhx and let me warn you do not send any thing you don't want full of sea water. We unfortunately shipped all of our wedding pictures, children's studio pictures and some other stuff that was keep sake/memorabilia type stuff and after telling them a flat price tag of $600. and not a sentimental price tag of how much everything cost to buy they sent us a check for $49. I mean here is a company that gave us our stuff back in broken totes that literally was a 1/4 full of sea water and they settle things out at $49. What a slap in the face. Don't believe some one just because of a name. Dependable Hawaiian express. Because they showed us they were anything but dependable. read more

Never again! This company is anything but dependable and nickel and dimed me until the end. I was shipping from Honolulu to Copenhagen. Once the items reached the mainland from Honolulu, DHX now said they were not properly packaged and they needed to package said the items with an additional fee of around $500!!! Ha! It already shipped from Honolulu with no problem. I was able to get a lower rate, but still had to pay to get my items 348 USD which is ridiculous since they picked up the items, and already shipped them once with no problems. Also, once items arrived they were damaged and I filed a claim for around 650 USD and they reimbursed 20 USD and that was with the 75 USD insurance I purchased. Do not use this company! read more

Matson helped our move by shipping my housing stuffs from Reno NV to Honolulu HI. Then DHX took over to bring our container from the Honolulu port to a self storage facility. Everything moved well up until our container had reached at DHX. A DHX contact person, Naomi, left voice mail by letting me know our container has arrived at the port and asking me to call back. When I call back, she didn't remember my name and said "I didn't call you today. What do you want?" I tried to explain my situation and asked her if there is anyway to hold my container for a while. She immediately transferred my call to somebody without any notice, and of course the staff didn't have any idea and she transferred me back to Naomi. Naomi could not pick up my call (probably being busy) and I left a voice mail asking to call me back and left my phone number. She never called me. In the next day morning, Naomi called me to say "your container has arrived". I knew it. She asked "when do you need us to bring your container, tomorrow or the day next tomorrow?" and explained the delay penalty fees. I told her "Ok, I will arrange the storage place and call you back this evening or tomorrow morning. Please remember my name". She said OK. Then, after I arranged a storage place in the same day in between my work, I called Naomi back (2pm). "I arranged the place I'd like to store my housing stuffs. Can you arrange a driver to bring it there at 1pm tomorrow." Surprisingly what Naomi said was "No, we cannot do that. We need 24 hr ahead notice and booking was closed at noon." ??? I told Naomi that I was going to call back 'this evening or tomorrow morning'. Why didn't she notice me that the booking would be closed at noon. It was very very painful to communicate with Naomi. And, of course I was frustrated because I must rearrange appointment with the storage store and rescheduling my works, then Naomi was rather upset & getting rude, and after I booked the trailer on the morning of the day after tomorrow, Naomi said "OK, thank you." and immediately hung up. I felt insulted and her work seems unprofessional. Naomi may be overwhelmed with the amount of works but, even though, I cannot recommend this company at all because of their poor customer support. read more

I wouldn't use them again. Shipped a board from mainland $289, would have saved $100 by using FedEx ground.

I SWEAR I do NOT work for or with this company... Very LONG story cut short: I had a divorce... Sent my Wife back to Hawaii where I met her, from the North East. Packed everything in very large plastic containers banded shut. Over a Pallet Cube.... I called everyone with the weight and dimensions, UPS, FEDEX, Various Independent freight Cos, All the While AVOIDING DHX Because of the reviews I saw here... I then thought I would at least get a quote... It Was Amazing, Waaaay lower than everyone else! "Too good to be True" I thought... backed into a corner I risked it. To my dismay they said NOT to pay until it got to California and THEY weighed and inspected it. "Great" I thought, "Bait and Switch"... I hoped for the best. The day it got to Cali they called me... their final number was LOWER than what they quoted me!! PLUS they shrink-wrapped the whole thing neatly for me. It got to Hawaii unscathed in ANY way! I actually wrote a few of their office members Thank You Cards! I think all these bad reviews are from people who don't know how to pack things for FREIGHT. I will ALWAYS use DHX for any bulk moves to and from Hawaii in the future. a Very PONO Company for Sure Bradda! ;) read more

I had a rush order for two containers to be delivered to the foreign trade zone and Lori and DHX took exceptional care of me. Gave her the 214 paperwork on Friday and got both containers delivered before noon on Monday. Now thats great service! Thanks Lori! read more
