Sending furniture to Antigua or Barbuda, from a single sofa to a whole houseful? We connect you with one vetted partner who packs, crates, dismantles, ships and reassembles your pieces. Big, heavy and awkward items are their everyday work. It's free to ask.
✅ The quick answer — One item or a whole room: we connect you with one vetted partner. Free.
📦 Packed and crated — Blankets, wrap, edge protection and timber crates for fragile or heavy pieces.
🔨 Dismantle and reassemble — Beds, wardrobes and tables taken apart and rebuilt at your address.
🚚 How it ships — A single item in a shared container, or a full container for lots.
⏱️ How long — Roughly 3 to 5 weeks, usually transhipped through a US hub.
📍 Where it clears — Deep Water Harbour, St John's, then on to your room of choice.
Furniture shipping suits anyone sending specific pieces rather than barrels of small goods or a packed-up home. That might be one item, a few favourites you can't replace, or every room. Whatever the load, each piece is packed and protected for the crossing to Deep Water Harbour, and big, heavy or awkward items are handled as routine.
Sofas and armchairs, beds and mattresses, wardrobes, chests, dining sets, desks and bookcases.
Pianos, marble and glass tables, large appliances and white goods, garden furniture and antiques.
A single piece travels in a shared container; a full room or home takes a full 20ft or 40ft container.
The difference between furniture arriving perfectly and arriving damaged is the preparation. Your vetted partner does the lot, so you don't lift a finger beyond pointing at what's going.
Furniture blankets, bubble wrap, and edge and corner protection around every piece.
Made-to-measure timber crates for fragile, heavy or high-value items, heat-treated to ISPM-15.
Beds, wardrobes and large tables taken apart for transit and rebuilt at your island address.
Pieces loaded and lashed in the container so nothing shifts on the crossing.
Furniture clears at Deep Water Harbour like any other shipment, with a broker filing the entry in ASYCUDA World. If you're a returning national coming home to live after years abroad, used furniture and household effects you've owned for a year or more can come in free of duty and ABST, as long as they're not for resale. For other shipments, furniture may attract import duty, averaging around 20% but varying by item, plus 15% ABST. Wooden crates must be heat-treated and ISPM-15 stamped, and your partner makes sure the paperwork is right.
Furniture shipping runs in both directions. As well as sending pieces into Antigua and Barbuda, we connect people moving furniture and large items out of the island to the UK and the USA, the two homes of the largest Antiguan and Barbudan communities overseas. The packing and crating are the same; the customs changes at the other end, and your vetted partner handles it.
Moving a whole home, with packing, shipping and delivery end to end.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft containers for a large load or home.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Every area and service for moves to the island.
Furnishing a home on the island often means spending locally as well as shipping, so a fair rate on the money you change matters. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so that's one less thing to worry about. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Tell us what you're sending and we connect you with one partner suited to furniture shipping and the Antigua and Barbuda route, not a call centre and not ten quotes to compare. For a full move your partner holds FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark for international movers audited by Ernst and Young, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and their crews handle export packing, crating, dismantling and reassembly day in, day out.
