Clear answers for planning your Caribbean shipment.

Yes. Add each distinct package type as a separate line in the calculator, then carry the combined estimate into your enquiry.

No. The calculator gives an external-volume estimate to help you describe the packages. It is not a quotation, loading promise or price guarantee. The complete shipment details still need to be reviewed.

Yes. Record the widest packed diameter and the full external height, including the lid or closure.

Give a clear cargo description, quantities, packaging, approximate measurements and weight where known. Add collection and receiving access details and anything that may need special handling. The team will confirm what else is required for the route.

No. Published internal capacity is a reference. Packaging shapes, safe loading, access and other operational limits reduce the space that can actually be used.

No. Published capacity and your volume estimate are useful references, but cargo shape, packing, weight, doors and safe loading can reduce usable space. Use the comparison as a starting point and let the team check the actual shipment.

No. It records a request for contact. No rate is reserved and no funds are transferred.

No. The form records a request for an introduction. The specialist partner confirms whether the currencies and transfer can be supported and explains its terms. No rate is reserved and no money moves through the form.

Start with the source-linked checklist for the selected destination and shipment direction. It separates useful preparation from matters that still require authority or team confirmation. It does not decide duties, eligibility, licences, concessions or customs outcomes.

A reachable receiving contact helps with route checks, local instructions and the eventual handover. Only provide details you are authorised to share.

Yes. Give the best information you have and mark measurements or weights as estimates. The team can then explain what needs checking next.

No. An enquiry gives Caribbean Shipping Direct the details needed to review the route and shipment. Availability, timing, charges and acceptance still need confirmation.

Share where the shipment starts, where it is going, what is moving, approximate quantities or measurements, preferred timing and any access restrictions. Exact figures are not required at this stage. The team will explain what still needs checking before anything is arranged.

No. A practical room-by-room summary is enough for the first enquiry. Include large, fragile or difficult items and anything that affects access.

Stairs, lifts, restricted parking and difficult entrances can change what needs preparing at collection. Mention them early, together with large or fragile items, so the team can identify the details that still need checking.

Do not enter passport copies, identity documents, bank account details, payment-card numbers or passwords. The initial request only needs the practical route, shipment and contact details shown in the form.

The privacy page explains what information is collected, why it is needed, how it is protected and the rights that may apply. Read it before submitting if you want the full details.

Do not assume that a packing enquiry confirms a packing-only booking or includes unpacking. Tell us what help you need and ask the team to confirm the booking conditions and work included in your quotation.

Yes. Caribbean Shipping Direct provides professional international packing. Tell us whether you need help with the whole shipment or selected items, where the work is needed and anything fragile or unusually shaped. Our team handles the survey and manages the job. We will agree the work, materials, dates and charges before you book.

Selected origins outside the UK can be checked, as can some routes from the Caribbean to the UK or elsewhere. Availability, timing and cargo acceptance depend on the actual route, so include both ends of the shipment in your enquiry.

Our main focus is shipping from the UK to the Caribbean. The team can also assess selected routes from other origins to the Caribbean and from the Caribbean to the UK or other confirmed destinations.

No. Preferred timing helps the team assess the request. A date is only confirmed through the later operational process.

Start when you have a preferred window, even if the date is not final. That gives you time to organise package details, documents, access and receiver information. The planning tool creates preparation steps, not a sailing or delivery promise.

Do not assume they can. Declare any proposed contents and wait for written confirmation because route, carrier, safety and customs rules may differ.

Give the vehicle make, model, year, running condition and dimensions if known. Mention collection access and anything you propose leaving inside the vehicle. The route, contents and acceptance still need written confirmation.

Mention delicate, fragile, valuable or awkward items in the first enquiry and describe anything that may affect handling. The team can then check the request. Acceptance and a particular handling method are not promised by the form.
