★ Brand Hawaii shipping guide
Does Tein ship to Hawaii?
Yes, but with an oversize surcharge. Tein sells through dealers and an online shop, and dealers add an oversize or overweight surcharge on coilovers bound for Hawaii, shipping them by USPS Priority. Ship the set to a GlideOver mainland address instead and a 59 lb Flex Z set flies to Honolulu for a published $174, door to door in 2 days.
How Tein ships coilovers to Hawaii.
Tein is a Japanese suspension maker whose Flex Z coilovers sell through US dealers and an online shop. Coilovers ship in a long, oversize box, so dealers add a dimensional-weight surcharge on island orders even when they move by USPS Priority. GlideOver works differently: ship to our mainland warehouse, and the set flies to Honolulu at a published $174, arriving in 2 days.
Tein’s Hawaii shipping policy.
Tein products reach Hawaii through dealers and its US online shop, and they do ship to the islands by USPS Priority. The cost catch is the oversize and overweight surcharge dealers apply to the long coilover carton, calculated on dimensional weight and quoted per order rather than as a published flat island rate.
Why coilovers get surcharged to Hawaii.
A four-corner coilover set ships in a long carton, so carriers price it on dimensional weight, the box’s footprint, not just the 59 lb on the scale. Dealers pass that inflated billable weight through as an oversize island surcharge. GlideOver charges a flat published $174 on this set no matter how the dimensional math lands.

Questions we hear a lot.
Tein already ships by USPS Priority, so why use GlideOver?
Because the dealer adds an oversize surcharge on top of that Priority rate, quoted per order. GlideOver’s $174 is a flat published price you can see before you buy.
Does a forwarder affect Tein’s warranty?
No. The warranty is on the product, not the shipping path. Keep your invoice and serial numbers and the coverage follows the set to Hawaii.
Can the full Flex Z set go on the 2-day air lane?
Yes. At 59 lb the set rides the 2-day USPS Priority air lane (70 lb max) as one shipment. Heavier multi-box freight ships on a slower lane, quoted by weight.
Other brands Hawaii residents ship through GlideOver.
If Teinisn't the only brand on your list, here are other guides we've published for the retailers Hawaii customers ask about most.
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.
Does KW Suspension ship to Hawaii?
Yes, but a full KW V1 or V3 set is a heavy, oversize box, and dealers pass through the carrier's oversize and remote-area surcharge to get it to Honolulu. Through GlideOver's mainland warehouse, that same box ships for $176, door to door in 2 days.
Does Fortune Auto ship coilovers to Hawaii?
Yes, Fortune Auto builds and ships custom-valved coilovers direct from Virginia, but a full set is an oversize box that draws a steep remote-area surcharge to Hawaii. GlideOver's mainland warehouse ships that same box for $176, door to door in 2 days, with the custom valving untouched.
