If you are moving to the Caribbean, it is a good idea to seek out one of the UK shipping companies that specialises in shipping there. As with many other things, there are companies that are specialists in certain areas, and shipping to the Caribbean is no different.
If you are relocating to Jamaica, or need your belongings shipping to Grenada there is always a temptation to undertake the packing yourself in order to save some money. However, this really is a false economy. Companies that specialise in the Caribbean and the West Indian islands also have expert packers on hand. Let's face it, the Caribbean is a long way to go, and you want your goods to arrive in the same condition as they left the UK, so you don't want them slipping and sliding about in a force 10 gale in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Another thing that will save you money is to leave behind things which are going to be of no further use to you. You might have a lovely heavy overcoat for use in the UK winters, but you simply don't need it in the Caribbean. Too many people emigrate there and then find years later that they brought things with them that they have never used since they arrived. You need to sit down and think things through carefully, because there is little point in paying for goods to be shipped to the Caribbean for which you actually have no further use.
