London is home to the UK's largest Jamaican community, so sending things home from the capital is something shippers do every week. Whether it's a barrel of clothes and food, a container for a whole home, or a car, a vetted shipper collects across London, sends it by sea, and clears it in Jamaica. Tell us what you're sending and where in London it's coming from, and we'll connect you with one. Asking is free.

London has more Jamaicans than anywhere else in the UK, and the routes home are well worn. A vetted shipper collects from anywhere in the capital, whether that's the long-standing communities around Brixton, Lewisham and Tottenham, or Croydon, Hackney, Wood Green and the suburbs. Your goods are gathered, consolidated and taken to a UK port, usually Felixstowe or Southampton, for the sea crossing.
You don't have to do the legwork. Once you've told us what's going and where it's coming from, your shipper arranges collection at a time that suits.
Whatever you're sending, there's a way to do it. A barrel is the cheap, popular choice for clothes, food and gifts. A container, full or shared, suits a whole home or a large shipment. And you can ship a car too, by RoRo or in a container, with the right licence in place.
Moving back to Jamaica for good from London? The returning residents concession can bring your used belongings in duty-free.
A barrel from London starts from around £80, while a full container runs into a few thousand pounds, with a shared part load somewhere in between. Being in London helps, since collection is close to the southern ports. By sea it's roughly three weeks, and about four to six weeks door to door once you add clearance. The cost guide breaks the numbers down.
Your shipment from London clears at one of two wharfs, Kingston or Montego Bay, then travels on by road to the delivery address. The receiver needs their TRN, photo ID and the shipping paperwork, and the shipper's local agent guides them through it.
We deliver across the island, from Kingston and Spanish Town to Montego Bay and Portmore, with every town on the Jamaica hub.
