A full home move means more than freight: surveying, packing, shipping, customs and delivery, all joined up. We connect you with one vetted partner who runs the whole thing, from your UK door to your new home on the island. It's free to ask.

A full home removal to St Lucia is the complete service, not just the sea freight. It starts with a survey, in person or by video, so your partner knows exactly what you're moving and can quote a firm price. Then comes professional export packing, with everything wrapped and boxed and large furniture dismantled and crated. Your goods are loaded into a shared or full container, shipped to Port Castries, cleared by a local broker, then delivered to your new home, where furniture is reassembled and, if you like, boxes unpacked. One partner owns the whole chain, so there's no gap between shipping and delivery.
How much you're moving decides the container. A shared (groupage) container suits a part move, a couple of rooms or a smaller flat, where you pay only for the space you use. A full 20ft suits a small two to three-bedroom home, and a full 40ft a larger three to four-bedroom home, with room for a car. Your partner surveys to get this right, so you're not paying for space you don't need or squeezing a home into too small a box.

What a full home move costs, and ways to save.
Every area and service for moves to the island.
Your household goods clear at Port Castries, with a broker filing the entry in ASYCUDA World. For most movers, goods may attract import duty, which varies by item, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%. If you're a St Lucian coming home to live, the returning-nationals concession brings used household effects, and one vehicle up to a set value, in free of customs duty, which can change the cost of the move considerably. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the declaration so your home isn't held at the port.
Once cleared, your home is delivered anywhere on the island, whether that's a quick run to Castries or Rodney Bay in the north, down the west coast to Soufrière, or south to Vieux Fort. Furniture is reassembled and placed where you want it. Your partner handles access for apartments, gated developments and hillside homes, and times the delivery with you. See every area on the St Lucia hub.
Moving a whole home usually means moving significant money too. The local currency is the East Caribbean dollar. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so you get a fair rate without the hassle. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
