I live in Hawaii. When I found out that your awnings can not be shipped to Hawaii, I had it shipped to my cousin in CA. Then she shipped it to me. It cost me an additional $306 for shipping to the Big Island, but I bit the bullet and paid out. It is very difficult to locate merchandise in Hawaii and we rely on companies who ship. This awning is very special and we are happy with it. It holds up to the rainforest we live in and is attractive. I just wish the shipping included Hawaii. That is the only drawback. Attached are two photos; one before and one after. Aloha!
