Mr. Ship It is a Bahamian courier on the Bahamas Customs list of licensed couriers, also known as a package or parcel forwarder. Shop Amazon or any other US online store, ship to your free Florida address, and we fly your parcel to Nassau, clear customs and have it ready at one of our 6 stores. For large or heavy shipments, see our freight forwarding service.
How our courier service works
- Get your free US address. Sign up and you get a Florida address with your own suite number. No signup fee and no monthly fee.
- Shop any US store. Use your address at checkout, so free and cheap US shipping, Prime included, works for you.
- Upload your invoice. We use it to clear customs, so do it as soon as you order.
- We fly it in. Frequent flights from Florida to Nassau, then on to the Family Islands.
- Pay and collect. Pay online and pick up at the store you chose. Every bill you pay online earns cashback in Shipping Bucks.
How long it takes
Once your parcel arrives at your US address, it is typically ready in Nassau within 5 business days, and in the Family Islands within 6 to 8 business days, depending on mailboat schedules. A missing invoice is the most common cause of delay, so upload it early.
What a parcel costs
Most online orders are small, and freight is charged by weight:
| Parcel | Freight |
|---|---|
| Clothes or a phone case, up to 5 lb | $8.99 flat |
| A pair of shoes, 3 lb | $8.99 |
| A small appliance, 10 lb | $18.90 ($1.89 per lb) |
Customs duty, the processing fee, any environmental levy and VAT are added according to what you bought. Check an item on the Bahamas duty rates table, see every fee on the pricing page, or get an all-in figure from the shipping calculator.
Tracking your parcel
Before your parcel reaches us, track it with the store's UPS, USPS, FedEx or Amazon number, or check whether it has arrived at our warehouse. After that, your account shows every step: at your US address, in transit, ready for pickup and collected.
Choosing a courier in The Bahamas
Before you pick a courier, check:
- Is it licensed? Licensed couriers clear customs for you. Mr. Ship It is on the Bahamas Customs list.
- What are the extra fees? Some couriers add brokerage or air cargo fees. We charge neither.
- Where do you collect? We have four stores in Nassau (Mackey Street, Carmichael Road, SandyPort and Joe Farrington Road), plus Mt. Thompson in Exuma and Lower Bogue in Eleuthera.
- Can you see the cost first? Our calculator shows freight, duty and VAT before you buy.
- Do you get anything back? We are the only courier in The Bahamas that pays you back, with Shipping Bucks on every bill you pay online.
Questions
- Is Mr. Ship It a licensed courier?
- Yes. Mr. Ship It is on the Bahamas Customs list of licensed couriers, so we declare and clear your packages with Customs for you.
- What is the difference between a courier and a freight forwarder?
- A courier moves parcels quickly from door to door, and a freight forwarder moves goods between countries, often larger loads, and handles customs. Mr. Ship It is both: we bring everyday parcels and large or heavy items from Florida to The Bahamas and clear customs for every one.
- What is a package forwarder?
- A package forwarder, or parcel forwarder, gives you an address in another country, receives what you buy there and sends it on to you. Mr. Ship It does this for The Bahamas: your free Florida address receives your US orders, and we fly them home and clear customs.

- Once your package arrives at your US address, it is typically ready in Nassau within 5 business days, and in the Family Islands within 6 to 8 business days, depending on mailboat schedules.

- Freight is a flat $8.99 up to 5 lb and $1.89 per pound up to 29.99 lb, with no brokerage fee and no air cargo fee. Customs duty, the processing fee, any environmental levy and VAT are added according to what you bought.
- Can I use Mr. Ship It for Amazon orders?
- Yes. Ship your Amazon order to your free Mr. Ship It address in Florida, including with Prime, and we bring it home with customs cleared.
- Do I need a courier for small orders?
- Most US stores don't ship to The Bahamas, or charge a lot when they do. With a courier you pay one low rate from Florida, and Customs charges are worked out from your invoice and paid on the same bill.
