VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
The honest answer is, it depends on how much you're moving. A barrel starts from around £80; a shared container is charged by the space you use; a full container is a flat rate. We connect you with one vetted partner who prices your move properly. It's free to ask.
✅ The quick answer — Cost tracks the size of your load. Tell us what you're moving for a real figure. Free.
📦 Barrel — From around £80, the cheapest way to send a small load.
🚚 Shared container — You pay only for the space your goods take.
🏠 Full container — A flat rate for the whole box, best value for a home.
💰 Save — Declutter, share a container, time a Christmas barrel, use the concession.
There's no single price for shipping to St Lucia, because the cost follows how much you're moving and how you move it. A few boxes of clothes and gifts cost very little in a barrel. A few rooms cost more in a shared container. A whole home is most economical in a full container, even though the headline figure is higher, because you're using the space efficiently. On top of the freight come collection and delivery, any packing and crating, and customs charges at Port Castries. The way to a real number is simple: tell your vetted partner what you're moving.
These are rough, indicative figures to give you a sense of scale, not quotes. Real pricing depends on your volume, the area, collection and delivery, and the season. Your vetted partner confirms the exact figure after a quick survey.
| Option | Best for | Indicative from |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Clothes, food and gifts for family | around £80 |
| Shared container | A few rooms or a returning-national load | priced by the space used |
| Full 20ft container | A small 2 to 3-bedroom home | a flat rate for the box |
| Full 40ft container | A larger 3 to 4-bedroom home, plus a car | a flat rate for the box |
| Car | A vehicle shipped on its own or in a container | priced separately |
Indicative only. Your partner gives a firm price for your move.
A few simple choices make a real difference. Declutter before you pack, since you're paying to ship volume, not value. Share a container if you don't have a full load, so you only pay for your space. If you're sending gifts, time a barrel for the Christmas window, when St Lucia has often waived duty and VAT on personal barrels. If you're moving home for good, the returning-nationals concession brings used effects, and one vehicle, in free of customs duty. And be flexible on dates where you can, as a shared container that sails when full can be cheaper than a rush.
Most shipments clear at Port Castries, where goods may attract import duty, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%, worked out on the declared value. Two concessions can cut that right down: the seasonal Christmas barrel concession on personal barrels, and the returning-nationals concession on used household effects and one vehicle for St Lucians coming home to live. A local broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World and works out what, if anything, is genuinely due.
