Pricing Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The shipping rate covers shipping and all wharf clearance in Jamaica. Your family pays nothing extra to collect the barrel in Black River, St. Elizabeth. The only additional fee is the pickup from your US address, which varies by location — we quote that when you book.
Do these rates apply to all barrel types?
Shipping and clearance is $580 for a Plastic Drum and $565 for a Fibreboard Drum (first barrel). Each additional food barrel is $350 — food barrels only. For clothing, shoes, or non-food items, the rate varies. Contact us for a custom quote.
How does Shop & Ship pricing work?
Shop & Ship has a $120 shopping service fee per barrel — so if you want us to pack 2 barrels, the service fee is $240. On top of that, you pay the barrel rate ($95 or $105), shipping, clearance, and home delivery ($550 per barrel), and the cost of the items we purchase at your budget.
What if my barrel is overweight?
Standard rates apply to normally packed food barrels. If a barrel is excessively heavy, an overweight surcharge may apply. We'll let you know before shipping.
Can I ship multiple barrels at once?
Absolutely. Many customers ship 2–4 barrels at a time. When you ship 5 or more barrels together, you automatically save $150 off your shipping total — no code needed, the discount is applied at checkout. Shipping 10 or more barrels? Contact us directly for a bulk discount quote.
What items are not allowed in barrels?
We cannot ship alcohol, firearms, ammunition, perishable foods, flammable liquids, or any items prohibited by Jamaican customs. When in doubt, call us before packing.

North Jersey (within 40 miles of Newark) is $190. Beyond 40 miles from Newark, the fee is $190 plus $4.50 for every additional mile. Both are calculated automatically from your ZIP code on the booking form. CT and PA require a custom quote. For shipments of 3 or more barrels, a $60 surcharge is added per barrel beyond the first 2.
