Who ships with us

My own villa

One property, yours.

You are furnishing or restocking a house in Anguilla, and the things you want are in American shops.

A load we have actually shipped runs to 117 things from a dozen different stores — tires, a step ladder, curtain rods, floor tile, dog food. One container does the work of a dozen separate deliveries, and costs less than any of them attempted alone.

A house is not a parcel problem.

Furnishing a place in Anguilla is not a series of deliveries. It is a sofa, a dining table, eight chairs, a bed, a mattress, lighting, rugs, linens, kitchen equipment and the fifty small things nobody lists until the room is nearly done — bought over weeks, from vendors who have never heard of each other.

Sent one at a time, that is a dozen freight bills and a dozen customs entries. Sent together, it is a container.

How it actually goes

You get a Miami address once your account is activated, with a card on file. Order to it from anywhere in the US — most retailers that refuse an Anguilla address ship to Florida without a second thought.
Everything waits for everything else. The sofa bought in March and the cushions bought in April sit together in our warehouse rather than making two separate crossings.
When you are ready, we pack your container and hand it to Tropical. One handoff, one clearance, one arrival.
Duty is worked out before it sails, against Anguilla's published tariff schedule, and itemised — not discovered at the dock.

We ship with Tropical Shipping, which sails to Anguilla weekly on Thursdays. Your goods need to be with us by Monday 17:00 Miami time to make that week’s boat — we pack on Tuesday and hand the cargo to Tropical on Wednesday.

What it costs

One container

$595 per ViaCube — one container, whatever the fill level. Fill it on your own and it is yours alone; share one and you split the fee by the space you use. A half-full container costs the same as a full one, which is the argument for letting things accumulate rather than sending them as they arrive.

$8 per package as it is received, checked in and recorded against your property. 80 customs line items included, then $4 each — a whole-house fit-out rarely passes eighty.

30 days of free storage on every package, counted from the day it arrives, then $0.35 per cubic foot per day with a 4 cubic foot minimum per item.

Duty, 9% import tax, the 1% Customs Service Fee, broker clearance, port fees and island trucking are passed through at cost and itemised separately. The full breakdown is here →

If you are buying for one room rather than a house, tell us anyway. Large or awkward single items — a piece of furniture that will not fit a courier, something fragile, something valuable — are worth a conversation rather than a form.
