Alcohol delivery laws in Hawaii

Hawaii sets no statewide sale hours, so delivery follows whatever your city or county allows.

Who is actually delivering

The hours below are the shop's. A courier working for a retailer is bound by that retailer's window, so an order placed inside it and delivered outside it is the shop's problem rather than yours, and shops decline late orders for exactly that reason.

Licensing is separate from hours. Whether a particular shop may deliver at all depends on the permits it holds, which vary within a state, so the source list below is the law on hours rather than on who may hold a licence.

State law hands that power entirely to each of the four county liquor commissions (Honolulu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai), which set hours independently and are not required to match one another. Your county's liquor commission rules control the actual hours where you are.
