The cost comes down to how much you're moving and how. A barrel is cheapest; a shared container is charged by the space you use; a full container is best value for a home; a car is priced on its own. We connect you with one vetted partner for a clear price. It's free to ask.
✅ The quick answer — Tell us your volume and island and we connect you with one vetted partner. Free.
💰 Barrel — From around £80, the cheapest option.
📦 Shared container — Priced by the volume your goods take.
🚚 Full container — A flat rate for the box, best value for a home.
📄 On top — Customs duty, VAT at 10% and fees on the landed value.
There's no single price, because it depends on how much you send. As a rough guide, a barrel starts from around £80; a shared container is charged by the volume your goods take, so a part load costs less than a full one; a full 20ft or 40ft container is a flat rate that works out better value the more you fill it; and a car is priced on its own. The biggest drivers are volume, the service you choose, and which island you're shipping to, since the Family Islands add an inter-island leg.
The honest answer is that a quick survey and one clear quote beats any guess. We connect you with one vetted partner who prices your actual move.
On top of the shipping, customs adds its part. Ordinary goods may attract import duty, which varies a lot by item, plus VAT at 10%, a 1% customs processing fee and an environmental levy, all worked out on the landed value. The ways to spend less are simple: send a shared container rather than a part-empty full one, declutter before you pack so you're not shipping what you'll replace, keep a clear packing list and commercial invoice so clearance is smooth, and if you're a returning resident, use the duty-free concession you're entitled to.

A good quote spells out the shipping, the likely customs costs and what's included, collection, packing, insurance and delivery, so you're not caught out at the port. Your vetted partner gives an indicative figure after a quick survey, then confirms it. Ask what's included and what isn't; a clear answer is the mark of a mover worth using.
The cost of a move often includes changing money. The Bahamian dollar is held on par with the US dollar. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so you get a fair rate without the hassle. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
A price is only as good as what it includes. We connect you with one partner who sets it out plainly, working hand in hand with established overseas removal companies and international movers. For a full move, partners hold FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark, with BAR Overseas the UK marker.
