Dickenson Bay runs along the north-west coast, a string of beaches, hotels and beach bars that's long been the island's busiest resort strip. What makes it popular to live in, rather than just visit, is the location: it's only minutes from St John's and close to the airport, so expats and remote workers get beach mornings with city errands and good flight links the same afternoon. Holiday lets do well here too, so some homes are bought to furnish and rent.
That mix means most shipments are households and furniture, whether it's a full relocation or a beach place being set up for living and letting. We connect you with one vetted partner who packs in the UK, ships, clears and reassembles at your Dickenson Bay address.
Containers and furniture shipping suit a beach home, with a barrel for smaller send-ups.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Coming home for good? Bring used effects in under the concession.

Furnishing a place at Dickenson Bay often means shipping the furniture and fittings you want rather than buying locally, especially if it's a home you'll also let out. Your vetted partner export-packs each piece, crates anything fragile or valuable, and dismantles and reassembles the large items. A shared or full container carries a part load or a whole home, and a local broker clears it at Deep Water Harbour. Returning nationals bring used effects in free of duty and ABST; others budget for duty and 15% ABST. Being close to the port, the run up to the bay is one of the shortest on the island.
From Deep Water Harbour in St John's, Dickenson Bay is only a short drive north, so the final leg is quick once your goods clear. Your partner times the delivery with you, whether it's a beachfront condo or a home up in the surrounding hills. Looking at nearby Hodges Bay or Cedar Grove?
