Boutique package consolidation & shipping
IslandVia gives you a Miami address, consolidates everything you order into one shipment, clears it through customs, and delivers it to Anguilla — so you stop paying for a dozen separate freight bills on a dozen separate boxes.
The process
Every shipment moves through the same checkpoints, in the same order — so you always know exactly where things stand.
Use your IslandVia address at checkout — Amazon, any US retailer, no restrictions on where you shop.
Every box gets logged, weighed, and photographed. We pack it all into one shipment instead of ten separate ones.
Duty, the 1% Customs Service Fee and 13% GST are worked out before your shipment sails, using Anguilla's published formula — so you see the numbers up front, and pass-through costs are billed at cost.
Your consolidated shipment arrives on-island, ready for pickup or delivery — one bill, one delivery, done.
Pricing
Two ways to work with us. Tell us roughly how often you ship, and we'll show you which one costs less.
This covers our consolidation and handling fee only. Anguilla import duty, the 1% Customs Service Fee, and 13% GST are calculated separately based on what's actually in your shipment — we'll show you that breakdown before anything ships.
Who ships with us
Furnishing or restocking a rental means dozens of small orders. We combine them into one shipment so you're not paying freight ten times over for one linen delivery.
Most US stores won't ship to Anguilla directly. With a Miami address, you can — and everything shows up together, cleared and ready.
Linens, amenities, kitchen supplies — if you're reordering the same things monthly, the annual mailbox plan turns your shipping cost into a fixed, plannable line item.
Who's behind this
IslandVia is still small on purpose.
Every shipment that goes out is one I've personally logged, weighed, and checked against customs myself — not handed off to a call center or a tracking number that goes nowhere. When Anguilla is home to one villa manager or fifty, the process should feel the same: careful, direct, and honest about what things actually cost.
That's the whole premise here. Not the biggest freight operation — the one that actually picks up the phone.
Why IslandVia
Ten packages shipped separately means ten separate freight charges. We combine everything into a single outbound shipment before it ever leaves Miami.
We calculate duty on the CIF value, then the 1% Customs Service Fee and 13% GST, using Anguilla's published formula — itemised for you before your shipment sails. Customs makes the final assessment at the border, and those charges are passed through at cost, never marked up.
Every package is logged and photographed the moment it reaches our Miami warehouse — you know exactly what arrived and when.
Tell us once how you want your shipments handled — always insured, extra padding, whatever matters to you — and it applies to everything going forward.
Questions
Anguilla restricts certain liquids, aerosols, and specific food and agricultural items, and the list changes without much notice. If you're unsure about something specific, ask before you order — it's much easier to redirect a purchase than to un-ship one.
Once your consolidated shipment leaves Miami, plan on roughly 2–3 weeks to Anguilla depending on the sailing schedule. We'll tell you the expected sailing date when your shipment is ready to go, not after.
Some carriers, USPS especially, don't reliably scan deliveries to forwarding addresses. If a tracking number looks stuck, check with us directly — we log every arrival by hand, so we can usually confirm it's here even when the carrier's own tracking hasn't caught up.
We do. Duty, the Customs Service Fee and GST are calculated, itemised, and paid as part of clearing your shipment, so you see the breakdown before it sails rather than at your door. Customs sets the final assessment — where it differs from our estimate you pay the actual figure, at cost, with the difference shown on your invoice.
Once a package reaches us, the seller's own buyer protection (eBay, PayPal, etc.) no longer applies — that coverage ends when something's reshipped through a forwarder. We handle every box carefully and offer insurance on request; ask us about it if what you're shipping is fragile or high-value.
