If you are relocating to the Caribbean and you need your possessions shipping to St. Kitts, or shipping to Grenada, you need to choose the right cargo shipping company. You may have heard horror stories about people not receiving their belongings on time, or ships arriving too early or too late. There are a few things to consider, and not just the price.
Many shipping companies will focus on one cargo loading service but may offer others as well. Warehouse loading is one option, and this is where the company loads your possessions into a container in their warehouse. They should be able to arrange for collection of your goods and delivery to the warehouse. They then transport the container onwards to the port.
Another option is a live load where they drop a container at your home, and you load it yourself. You usually only have a few hours to load it with this method. Better still is the more expensive, but less stressful, option where they drop the container off and you have a few days to load it before they pick it up again.
The size of container that you need will depend on how much you need to ship when you are shipping to St. Vincent or one of the other islands. Most companies provide either a 20' or 40' container. If you have valuables such as original paintings or antique furniture which might be affected by heat you may need a temperature-controlled container known as a reefer.
