Important Air Freight Lihue, Hawaii
As the main port town of Kaua’i, Lihue is responsible for keeping over 70,000 residents fed and supplied. On top of these residents are the island’s many visitors, which quickly create a massive demand for shipping that the port sometimes struggles to meet. As Kaua’i has grown in popularity and more businesses have set up shop there to meet that growing demand, the logistical challenges only continue to expand. The result is frequent shortages and bottlenecks, with standard sea and ground carriers often struggling to keep up with the times. AirFreight.com offers the swift expedited air services you need to always stay up to speed.
For the "outer" or "neighbor" islands (which is all of them but Oahu), 99% of providers would say they are a 2 day point minimum from anywhere on the mainland, even LA. We have options to do it overnight from anywhere.

Supplying Linhue from the Mainland
As with cities on all the “neighbor islands,” or islands of Hawaii that aren’t Oahu, supplying Linhue from the mainland isn’t easy. Standard carriers will often tell you that shipping to those islands from anywhere in mainland North America, including coastal cities like LA and Vancouver, will take over two days under the best of circumstances. Businesses that need supplies immediately from Mexico, Canada, or the mainland US often feel out of luck.
With AirFreight.com, your luck never runs out! We know how to coordinate same-day deliveries to Lihue, defying the odds to bring you your goods in short order. Our success is the result of an enormous network of airline partners, a similarly sizable network of ground carriers, investment in the best tracking and coordination technology on the market, and a strategy that ensures positive outcomes for all clients. That strategy starts with:
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
Speedy deliveries begin with speedy communication, which is why AirFreight.com eliminates as many barriers as possible to talking with current and new clients. We have created a centralized line known as the single point of contact (SPOC), which our clients can call at a moment’s notice. When you call this line, you don’t have to work your way through a complicated call center or leave a message and hope against hope that someone will call you back. Instead, you’ll connect with the team that’s handling your order, who will have all the information they could possibly need to answer your questions right in front of them. The same line is available to prospective clients who want to learn about our services; simply call the number, describe your situation, and listen to a detailed breakdown of all the different ways we can help you. Through this clear, consistent communication, we learn everything we need to serve you well.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
Along with organizing an SPOC, AirFreight.com provides a concierge approach to our clients. For each order and for every client, we give you the option of participating as actively or passively as you want in the process. If you’d prefer to sit back and wait for your items, we’ll happily take charge of the order, make all the major decisions, and respond to your questions as you ask them. But if you’d prefer a more active approach, we’ll give you regular updates even when you don’t ask for them, keep you informed of all key facts, and consult you for any decision that needs to be made, major or minor. This includes not only the initial choice of services, but also any changes that we have to make along the way, such as if a connecting flight gets canceled, and we need to choose a new one for your goods. By involving you as much as you want to be involved, we leave you in control of the expedited freight process.
AirFreight.com knows all the most effective lawful methods to maximize speed and ensure you meet your deadline.
AirFreight.com doesn’t let speed come at the expense of safety, but maximizes both on even the most ultra-critical cargo orders.
Air Freight
Standard air freight is exactly what many people imagine it to be, taking advantage of the cornucopia of scheduled flights to bring items thousands of miles in a few hours’ time. When done skillfully, this approach can solve the vast majority of shipping emergencies. AirFreight.com brings extensive skills to the air freight planning process. We know how to quickly sort through long lists of scheduled flights, finding the best ones for your specific circumstances. Our airline partners offer us easy access to their schedules so we can consult them with minimal waiting; and our coordination team knows how to weigh factors like air traffic and weather when choosing the flight for you. We also have committed ground partners who can handle transportation to and from the various airports, so that every part of the order is fully accounted for in your expedited delivery plan.
Air Charter
While air freight is usually enough to complete your order with time to spare, sometimes you need to go beyond what the airlines have planned. This is particularly true when your business is based on a “neighbor island” town like Lihue, to which airlines often fail to plan enough flights. AirFreight.com meets the needs of clients in this situation by organizing air charters. These are flights that are arranged for particular clients rather than made available to anyone who needs to go that way; because they’re set up for specific orders, they can be scheduled at the last minute, and they don’t need to stop in any connecting cities. With an air charter arranged by AirFreight.com, you can rest easy knowing that your items will reach Lihue in a matter of hours, regardless of the point of origin.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Courier services are often ideal for customers who are bringing in smaller but highly sensitive cargo. AirFreight.com offers these through our same-day hand-carry service. We have a network of trusted couriers that is every bit as widespread as our networks of airlines and ground carriers. These couriers are highly trained and vetted, so you can trust them to take good care of your items during the journey. If you need someone to watch over your items while they are en route, our affiliated couriers will take care of it. They can even personally hold the items in their hands if that’s necessary, ensuring that no one else touches them until they reach you.
