How do we calculate shipping cost to Hawaii as per customer?

Thanks

Hawaii has been a state for over 60 years. If you are shipping via USPS, then the cost from your location in Georgia would be the same as if you were shipping to California.  Here's eBay's shipping calculator, where you can easily compare services.

You can also always just go to the carrier website (USPS, UPS, Fedex) and input size, weight and a zip code to get an idea on what shipping will cost.

If you use CALCULATED shipping (insert package size/weight) eBay does that for you depending on where the buyer is located.  Hawaii is considered part of the United States seeing as how it IS a state.  If you only use FedEx, it may be more expensive than USPS.

Um m m m m m m 

Hawaii IS a State of the United States, and has been a State of the United States for more than 60 years.  

Hawaii, just the same as the States of Georgia, Florida, North Dakota, Nevada, California, and Alaska, and all the other 43 United States, is served by the United States Postal Service.  People there have zip codes at the end of their city and state, just like you do there in Smyrna, Georgia.  

 

Assuming you are speaking of calculating the shipping cost of an item you will sell on eBay.
YOU, as the eBay seller, do not need to do anything special to calculate postage to Hawaii.

You learn something every day . . . . . . . . .

You don't need to calculate shipping costs...EBAY software does that for you.   Just enter "weight & measurement" and shipping mode (USPS, Fed Ex , UPS) and type (first class, priority, flat rate box, media mail).    You can offer up to 4 different "shipping options" and allow the customer to choose.

 

Customer only sees the "first option" that you select and have no idea different options are available (until you tell them).  You should include statement in your description "different shipping options available fast or inexpensive but slow.   I tell customer "upfront" that cheapest option will be slow to avoid angry customers "screaming about long transit time".
