How much does it cost to send personal items to Antigua and Barbuda ?
The price of the transfer of your personal belongings to Antigua and Barbuda depends on the volume of your personal belongings to be transported. Indeed the volume will allow to pick the appropriate mode of transportation (maritime, road or air freight transport), as well as the destination.
Air transport is more expensive than sea transport, but much more suitable when the transported goods require rapid transport (because of their specificities, their value, or simply the urgency of delivery). In addition, since the volumes transported in ocean transport are larger than in air transport, minimum charges imposed by shipping companies and port managers imply that for small shipments air transport will be cheaper than ocean transport. Thinking that sea transport is always cheaper than air transport is a mistake! Shipping companies and port managers impose minimum charges because the volumes transported are higher than those in air transport. Therefore, for small shipments, air transport can be less expensive than ocean transport. It is therefore a mistake to think that ocean transport is always cheaper than air transport.
In the case of large non-urgent shipments, it will therefore be necessary to opt for maritime transport and vice versa. Road transport is more adapted to journeys within the European Community or during post and/or pre-arrival journeys. It is therefore the perfect relay for air and sea transport.
Example of average delays by mode of transport (ECO formula)
Air: 2 to 5 days
Road: 1 to 2 weeks
Sea : 2 to 10 weeks
The Bagages du Monde teams will advise you on the means of transport appropriate to your situation.
