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. Ps. Big thank you to Anna for coordinating everything !!! She is excellent as well

She asked what we felt would be fair, and although I wasn't sure exactly what to request, she took the initiative to speak with her manager. In the end, they offered a 50% refund for the moving service. I really appreciate the quick response and their effort to resolve the issue. It meant a lot that they took the time to acknowledge our experience and work toward a solution. Thank you again for making things right.

Postal Services in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawai'i…read more.. I saw Irene M. check in at this Koko Head Post Office and thought, "i never noticed this Post Office before!" Let's check it out! The reviews warned everyone that it's a cozy place... yes, they're correct! As soon as I was organized enough, I drove over and parked in the paid parking lot behind the building since the metered street parking was full. The reviews warned everyone that it's a cozy place... yes, they're correct! There were two female clerks. Each of them was helping a customer... not bad! There are long lines at other post offices! Soon, it was my turn! The helpful, polite clerk was very efficient and explained everything as she went through my pile. Thank you very much for telling me that my friends should receive the mail by December 24th! Whew! Just made it!

Cozy place that has it all…read more.. Almost all if they had the self serve kiosk I'd be a regular at this Kaimuki location where it's almost hidden amongst the many biz it's surrounded by which is very easy to miss but with the OG blue mailbox that's placed right outside it does give the nostalgia of the days we mailed our seasonal items. With that I did need to send a box to a friend and needed a box which of course they have besides the generic I love the priority mail box packaging with the flat rate makes it easy to put whatever you need which was there for me along with the prices of what each box are. Right beside that they do have a area where you're able to pack/write or do whatever you need all nice and clean where I noticed a buck of flowers and noticed that they were pens...lol! regular ballpoint and sharpies as well that was a lovely touch to have but there was one thing that I did forget...tape...sigh! There was no line at all and I could've shipped my items but one little major bump in plans that made me frustrated but know that I have a convenient spot outside of the busy locations is here and love that it's a local residential spot. Thank you!

They KNOW what to do and they service fast! It is customers who may hold up the line because we may NOT know what we're doing. So they have to EXPLAIN IT TO US. Like they did with us today. And I felt so bad because it seemed like the Clerk Jesse was small kine annoyed with us because we didn't know anything. But it's NOT OUR FAULT! We haven't sent anything out thru the post office in over 10 years! Last time was when my mom WAS alive living Oregon back in 2012. ‍ Last time they had signs and cost posted up for us to see. Maybe I didn't look well but, it would help if they did display it more in the opening area. However, he WAS REALLY PATIENT AND VERY KIND because he did answer all of our questions & helped us choose what we needed. Overall tho, I'd say this place is the best place to come to for mail out things because they're QUICK & not SO BUSY. Ok that's about it. OH! But know the parking in front is kind of small. ROOMY but small. But there is more parking on the BACK-SIDE on the right of the Post Office. So IF ANYONE HAS MAIL TO SEND... COME HERE! Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!

You could say I have a lot of experience with movers as I inherited my father's personally woodworked furniture which added to my own collection that he made for me. I have a lot of sentimental (and heavy) stuff plus I have a herniated disc, so moving is even more overwhelming. And moving every year for so long has been so much less than ideal. I had a go-to mover but they didn't reply when I reached out so I figured I would try someone new out bc, maybe I can have options. Incredibly, Making Moves packed everything much more thoroughly and somehow the move seemed shorter...?! Even accounting for the shorter distance, this move was seriously fast but not lacking one bit in caution. And here is the kicker, it was less expensive too and the team was bigger. I still love the other mover but this team has beyond proved itself so I guess this is my first choice mover now. Treat this team right. They are in demand for a reason.

Alfredo and his team were AWESOME. They did 2 moves for us this summer. First they picked up a…read morevintage designer dining set from VNTG and then cleared out our storage unit, delivering everything to our new house. The second move involved coming the day before to pack up our kitchen, then moving our apartment furniture and packed boxes into our new house. Before the moves, Alfredo came over to assess how much stuff we had and then gave us a quote that was competitive and reflected the actual cost of the move. He had 4 guys do the move -- it's much cheaper to have more guys because they do the move faster and you spend less money. They guys were all very respectful and sweet. Both moves happened fast and efficiently and all our items were moved with great care. Nothing was broken or scratched and the guys remove their shoes before coming in the house. I will absolutely be using Alfredo and his team for all my future moving needs.

Recycling in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've never been to this Redemption Center before, so Irene helped me find it. GPS took me to the side where there's no driveway. We had to go around the block to get to the entrance on Beretania Street. The driveway doesn't really have a sign. The lot is surrounded by a tall chain link fence. The worker was so kind and conversational. He apologized for not being able to pay me for the used glass from religious candles. He suggested that I take them to some industrial area. Well... if he wants to give away the decorative glass containers, he can. Maybe someone wants to use them as vases or pencil holders? Thanks for being so nice!

I don't want to give a recycling center one star since I'm such a believer in recycling and reusing things, but this was a really scary experience! A homeless man was following me around and then an Asian lady who had no front teeth tried to assault me. There seem to be a lack of green buckets, which is where you have to separate your recycling materials. The people there were hoarding all the green buckets. Literally, the lady who tried to assault me had five or six buckets and then cursed at me as I walked by. I didn't feel safe here. Sad because I've been here several times over the past years. I won't come back.

The US Postal Service is an independent agency within the Executive Branch of the US government,…read morebut it is not a traditional federal agency that was established by Congress in 1970. Its funding is from. postage sales, not taxes. It provides mail collection and delivery to every address, sells stamps and supplies, government services such as passport application processing and handling election mail, Informed Delivery (that e-mails of scanned envelopes that let individuals know before their mail arrives). Serving the HI Kai community of about 30,000+ residents since the 1960's when the community was built, the HI Kai US Post Office is a standard retail post office that serves the zip code 96825. In addition to the services provided above, it also offers P.O. Box services, a self-service kiosk available 24/7, money orders, and sale of greeting cards. As I have used this post office since the 1980's, I have gotten to know the staff behind the front desk serving the public, such as when I had to buy stamps, mail parcels, or had any questions about mail service. Familiar faces always brought smiles to both sides, and staff went out of their way to provide the detailed answers, as they worked as a team; it was like family. However, they have all since retired and now, new staff are in place, and the customer service is very different. The new staff lack the in-depth experience in providing detailed knowledgeable answers and are regimented in their work. For example: * I was looking for a specific postage stamp design, and one employee said she had none and said she could not check with other staff; whereas, prior staff would have easily checked with others to see if they had that specific stamp. I ended up going to the main post office near the airport to get that stamp. * In sending parcels, sometimes there are differences in mailing costs even if info is obtained online, so however we bring the parcel for flat rate or priority rate, the current staff will take it as how we prepared it; whereas prior staff would suggest to us any savings by sending it a certain way. The post office interior is somewhat small but stretched out in one line so that you can line up to obtain services with the first available staff. During busy times, such as the Christmas rush, the line extends beyond the entrance and the wait is longer, which is understandable. I love that this post office sells greeting cards; however, they are lined up against the wall, but I wish they were moved into a corner or placed on revolving card displays, as customers lined up for their turn at the front desk can easily look over your shoulder to see what cards you've picked up. As for our outgoing mail, we do not use our home mail box for the carrier to pick up due to possible theft, and we also do not use the mail collection box just outside of the post office, for that same reason. Instead, we are thankful that we can go into the post office 24/7 and drop off our mail via slots just near the inside 2nd doors to the service desk. Likewise, in that same area, flat rate and priority boxes/envelopes are stacked up, and the self-service kiosk and the P.O. boxes are accessible 24/7. Hours of operation are Mon to Fri 9a to 4:30p, Sat 9a to 12n, and Sun closed. Located on HI Kai Dr near the HI Kai Shopping Center, it has ample free parking fronting the main entrance and on the left side of the building. We will continue to use the HI Kai Post Office for our needed services due to convenience that is close to our home and are thankful for that. We are hopeful that over time, staff will gain the knowledge and that we will get to know them on a more personal level as compared to the prior staff.
