Swetes lies in the green, hilly south-central part of Antigua, in the parish of Saint Paul, along Fig Tree Drive, the island's prettiest road as it winds between Swetes and St John's through the rainforest and behind the hills towards Boggy Peak. It's a proud village community, the home village of West Indies cricketer Ridley Jacobs, and like much of rural Antigua its families have relatives spread across the UK and beyond. So the shipping here is mostly barrels and the households of people coming home.
Whether it's a single barrel for relatives or a whole home, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it, then delivers up to your Swetes address.
From a single barrel to a full home, here's how most people ship here.
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.

Goods for Swetes clear at Deep Water Harbour, where a broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World. Ordinary barrels and shipments may attract some import duty and 15% ABST on the declared value. Returning nationals coming home to live bring used household and personal effects owned for a year or more in free of duty and ABST, as long as they're not for resale. Your partner and the broker handle the declaration so nothing waits at the port.
From Deep Water Harbour in St John's, Swetes is a steady run south into the hills along the Fig Tree Drive route. Your partner handles access on the village roads and times the delivery with you. Sending to nearby villages or the south? Browse every area on the Antigua and Barbuda hub.
