★ Brand Hawaii shipping guide
Does FCP Euro ship to Hawaii?
Yes, FCP Euro ships to Hawaii on standard air, and their Lifetime Replacement Guarantee still applies. The problem is that air rates to the islands on a brake kit or service kit can rival the cost of the parts. Ship a representative kit through GlideOver and the Hawaii leg is $80, door to door in 2 days.
How FCP Euro ships European auto parts to Hawaii.
FCP Euro (Milford, Connecticut) runs the largest online catalog of European auto parts in the US, covering BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche, Mercedes, Volvo, and Mini. They'll ship to Hawaii, but the standout is their Lifetime Replacement Guarantee on wear items (pads, rotors, filters, fluids), which means Hawaii owners ship the same parts over and over. Those repeat island air rates pile up fast, which is exactly where a forwarder like GlideOver pays off.
FCP Euro's Hawaii shipping policy.
FCP Euro ships every order via standard small-package carrier, with Hawaii orders going air. No flat refusal, no oversize exclusion on normal passenger-car parts. The pain is the air rate: a full brake kit or service kit headed to Honolulu can cost retail air rates that often run more than the part itself. Route it through your GlideOver mainland warehouse and FCP Euro sees a normal Connecticut-to-mainland shipment, then a representative ~30 lb kit takes the air lane to Hawaii for $80.
Why the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee changes the math.
FCP Euro's Lifetime Replacement Guarantee means that when your pads wear, your oil filter ages out, or your plugs need refreshing, you request free replacements forever and only pay shipping. For mainland owners that's a near-free-parts program. For Hawaii owners shipping direct, the island air rate turns every claim into a real bill. GlideOver makes the guarantee actually economical from Hawaii by keeping each replacement on the $80 air lane instead of a surcharged retail quote.

About $40 less than FedEx/UPS retail to Hawaii per claim — what makes FCP's lifetime guarantee actually worth it from the islands, at your door in 2 days.

Questions we hear a lot.
Does FCP Euro's Lifetime Replacement Guarantee work if I use a forwarder?
Yes. The warranty attaches to the part and your FCP Euro account, not the shipping route. Request replacements as normal, ship them to your GlideOver mainland address, and we forward to Hawaii.
Do I need to register my BMW or Audi with FCP Euro to use the warranty?
No. The guarantee is tied to your FCP Euro customer account, not your VIN. Keep your order history under one account so warranty claims are easy to file.
Can GlideOver handle fluids and oils through air?
Yes for most engine oils, brake fluids, coolants, and transmission fluids under a gallon per container. No for flammable aerosols (carb cleaner, brake cleaner, fuel additives). Those are restricted on air carriers and we flag them before shipping.
What about a big job like a full E46 M3 suspension refresh?
A full refresh (struts, shocks, bushings, sway bar links, control arms) usually breaks into 2 or 3 shipments because FCP Euro doesn't box it all together. Each GlideOver shipment is its own outbound, so budget for 2 or 3 Hawaii-leg charges. Still beats the surcharged retail air, just not as clean as one consolidated box.
Other brands Hawaii residents ship through GlideOver.
If FCP Euroisn't the only brand on your list, here are other guides we've published for the retailers Hawaii customers ask about most.
Does Summit Racing ship to Hawaii?
Yes, but Summit adds an oversize destination surcharge to a growing list of parts headed to Hawaii, and on exhausts, headers, and intakes that surcharge can cost more than the part. Ship a normal parts box through GlideOver instead and the Hawaii leg is $80, door to door in 2 days.
Does BC Racing ship coilovers to Hawaii?
Yes, but a set of four coilovers is an oversize box, and that's exactly what carriers tack a remote-area surcharge onto for Hawaii. Through GlideOver's mainland warehouse, that same box ships for $176, door to door in 2 days.
