🇧🇸 Bahamas #1 Shipping Solution
Services
From freight forwarding to brokerage and bonded items, we make shipping to The Bahamas simple, fast, and reliable.
Freight Forwarding
We simplify shipping for large and specialized items. Whether it’s construction materials, heavy equipment, sand, limestone, aggregates, or bulk goods—we’ll get it to The Bahamas efficiently and with care.
We can receive your shipments or pick them up in South Florida, consolidate, and deliver throughout The Bahamas—quickly, safely, and cost‑effectively.
Consolidation
Consolidation combines multiple orders into a single shipment so you receive everything together—saving time and money. Buy from different stores, and we’ll ship them to you in one go—free of charge.
Consolidation doesn’t repackage items. Wait for all packages to be logged in your account, then submit one shipment request selecting the items to ship together.
