Shipping, household removals and packing
Prepare for the move you have in mind.
Sending goods to Antigua or moving home to Barbuda? We can manage packing, collection and shipping, with destination agents to help with paperwork and delivery to your home. Tell us the island and address. Choose the full service or shipping to port, depending on what you want to arrange yourself.
Our main focus is a UK collection and a Caribbean destination. For a shipment leaving Antigua or Barbuda, share the island of origin and receiving country. Availability and the work included need to be checked for that direction.
Use the island links to look at the receiving questions for your plans. A move intended for Barbuda needs that destination stated explicitly; it should not be treated as an Antigua handover.
Start with the right island
Name the island and the intended receiving area. The route, handover point and any onward movement need their own checks.
Put Antigua and the intended area in your enquiry. Keep the receiver's address and any access details together without assuming a delivery arrangement.
Include the full receiving area and the address details you know. A town name alone does not confirm a delivery zone or collection point.
Tell us when the intended receiving island is Barbuda. Ask how any onward movement and final handover would be checked before making arrangements.
The written scope should identify the agreed handover and responsibilities. Do not assume an arrangement for Antigua also covers Barbuda.
Start with the shipment
Choose the planning page closest to the shipment, then add factual quantities, measurements and handling needs. These links help organise an enquiry; they do not confirm a service for this route.
Sending fragile belongings or planning a home move? Our team handles the survey and manages the packing work. Tell us which pieces need protection and ask about furniture dismantling and reassembly within the agreed move.
Plan the packing with our team Package planningList package types, quantities, external measurements, approximate weights and broad contents. Keep each package reference connected to the same shipment record.

Antigua and Barbuda questions
Our services include professional international packing and household removals. Tell us about the pieces you would like packed and the property where the work is needed. Our team handles the survey and manages the job; the materials and work for your move need to be agreed. Discuss professional packing.
We can arrange a full-service move with agent-assisted paperwork and delivery to your home, but the quotation must name the intended island and address. If that is Barbuda, say so from the start so the receiving arrangements can be planned. You can also choose shipping to port and organise the onward journey yourself.
Share your preferred collection window and any fixed deadline. Ask which stage a timing estimate describes and whether a cut-off applies. If you cannot meet a date already discussed, contact the team to check how the plan would need to change.
Antigua and Barbuda Customs lists declaration fields including importer and port details, a manifest registration number, the bill of lading or airway bill, package count and type, and customs value. Confirm the current records that apply to the actual goods directly with Customs.
Customs publishes conditions within its import guidance. Confirm whether specialist submission support is required for the actual import; this page does not apply a threshold or make that decision. Do not submit identity or payment documents through the ordinary website enquiry.
