Gros Islet, in the north of St Lucia, is two things at once. At its heart it's a traditional fishing town, famous for the Friday Night Street Party, the weekly "Jump Up" where the whole village fills with music, food and grilled fish. But the quarter also takes in the island's busiest expat corner: Rodney Bay with its marina and beaches, Cap Estate's villas and golf, and Pigeon Island just offshore. So shipping here ranges from a family barrel to the contents of a whole home.
Whichever yours is, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it, then delivers to your Gros Islet address or on to the nearby north-coast neighbourhoods.
From a barrel for family to a full home for a relocation, Gros Islet sees the whole range.
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.

Ordinary barrels and shipments may attract import duty, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%. Returning nationals coming home to live bring household and personal effects in free of customs duty, enough to furnish a home, plus one vehicle free of duty up to a set value, while expats setting up a place near Rodney Bay budget for duty and VAT on anything new.
