How It Works
Four simple steps to shopping American stores without borders.
Shopping in the USA from The Bahamas comes down to one thing: an American address the store will ship to. Mr. Ship It gives you that address for free, then does everything after checkout, from receiving the box in Florida to clearing it through Bahamian customs and holding it at a store near you. Here is exactly what happens.

We ship it in
Your packages arrive at our warehouse. We fly them to The Bahamas on our frequent flights and clear customs on your behalf.

Pick up your delivery at one of our locations near you, or pay your bill online first so it is ready and waiting.
What happens between checkout and pickup
When a courier delivers your order to your US address, our warehouse team logs it against your suite number and it appears in your account within a business day. Each package is shipped and billed on its own, and flies to Nassau on the next available flight, where our customs team uses the invoice you uploaded to calculate duty and VAT and clear it. You then get a bill you can pay online, earning Shipping Bucks on every payment, and the package is held at the pickup location you chose.

Freight starts at $8.99 for packages up to 5 lb, then $1.89 per pound up to 30 lb. Duty and VAT depend on what you bought. The shipping calculator gives an all-in estimate before you order.
