Kahului sits about 3,193 miles southwest of Ketchikan, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alaska to Hawaii that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $10,670 to $15,870 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 55 hours (7 driving days).
On the Ketchikan side there are 12 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 45 around Kahului (9 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Kahului.
Ketchikan has a population of about 8,000 and Kahului about 29,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,147 and 1,962 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Hawaii is a higher-cost state than Alaska, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Hawaii does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
