West End, at the western tip of Grand Bahama, is the island's oldest settlement, a quiet fishing community with deep local roots. It's a small, close-knit place that has weathered its share of storms and rebuilding, with families whose relatives have settled in Nassau, the UK and the United States. That makes it firmly barrel and returning-resident country, with goods coming home to family.
Whether it's a single barrel or a household coming home, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it at the Freeport port and delivers to your West End address.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the islands.
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 effects and a vehicle in under the concession.

Goods for West End clear at the Freeport Container Port on Grand Bahama, the island's own port in the free-trade zone, so they don't route through Nassau. A broker files the entry in Click2Clear, and ordinary shipments may attract import duty, which varies by item, plus VAT at 10%, a 1% customs processing fee and an environmental levy on the landed value. If you're a returning resident, a Bahamian or permanent resident home to live after at least 24 months away, you can bring used household effects in free of duty up to 10,000 dollars, plus one vehicle up to 30,000 dollars, with Ministry of Finance approval, once every five years. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
Goods clear at the Freeport Container Port, then travel west along Grand Bahama to West End, so the final leg stays on the one island. Your vetted partner times the delivery with you and handles access at your address. Shipping to another island or town? Browse every area on the Bahamas hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money. The Bahamian dollar is held on par with the US dollar. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so the money side is simple and fair. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Whether it's a barrel or a full home, we connect you with one partner suited to the West End route and Bahamas customs, not a call centre.
