★ Brand Hawaii shipping guide
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.
How Summit Racing ships auto parts to Hawaii.
Summit Racing (Akron, Ohio) is the largest auto parts catalog in the United States and ships to Hawaii on most of its inventory. The catch is Summit's destination surcharge, which lands on oversize items bound for the islands (exhausts, headers, long-tube collectors, intake manifolds). Send the order to your GlideOver mainland warehouse instead: Summit sees a normal Ohio-to-Ohio domestic shipment, and we put a representative ~30 lb parts box on the air lane to Honolulu for $80.
Summit Racing's Hawaii shipping policy.
Summit Racing ships to all 50 states via small-package and LTL freight depending on the item. Small parts (filters, gaskets, fluids) reach Hawaii at normal rates. Oversize items (exhaust, headers, intake, driveshafts, fuel cells, bucket seats) trigger Summit's oversize destination surcharge, a variable fee shown at checkout. It isn't refusal, it's a real reflection of island delivery cost, but it doubles or triples shipping on a lot of enthusiast orders. GlideOver routes around it by keeping the Summit leg domestic.

Questions we hear a lot.
Will Summit Racing's warranty or returns still work if I ship through GlideOver?
Yes. The warranty is with Summit Racing, not the shipping route. If you need to return, you'll ship the item back to Summit yourself, which is another leg of shipping. Factor that in on big-ticket items.
Does GlideOver handle Summit Racing's Will Call option?
No. Will Call is Summit's in-person pickup at their Ohio warehouses, which isn't a route GlideOver runs. Use GlideOver for orders shipped via small-package carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS).
What about Summit's LTL freight orders (engines, heavy assemblies)?
LTL freight is a different game. GlideOver doesn't handle LTL. For engine blocks, transmissions, or pallet-sized orders to Hawaii, use Summit's direct freight route or an ocean freight forwarder like Matson.
Which Summit parts get hit hardest by the Hawaii surcharge?
Long-tube headers, full cat-back exhausts, superchargers, big-block intake manifolds, and driveshafts are the worst offenders. Any one of those can carry a heavy oversize destination fee. Send those to GlideOver and skip the surcharge entirely.
Other brands Hawaii residents ship through GlideOver.
If Summit Racingisn't the only brand on your list, here are other guides we've published for the retailers Hawaii customers ask about most.
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.
Does Tire Rack ship wheels and tires to Hawaii?
Yes on tires, partly on wheels, and the mounted wheel-and-tire package is where Hawaii buyers get hit hardest. A pair of mounted wheels is a heavy, oversize box that draws a steep surcharge. Through GlideOver that same pair ships for $176, door to door in 2 days.
