Phase 3 shipping
I have seen posts on this board and others on shipping
This is my experience with shipping
1 go to your local large chain home improvement center. 1 that has a store in your area and they must have a store in Miami unless you plan on shipping a whole container then that is another storey.
2 jot down the sku nimbers of the items you need to ship to Aruba.
If you are going to order your cabinets let the sale associate of your intentions that you don't plan on buying them there but you are going to have them purchased in Miami. You will find mostt sales associates very help full.
3 armed with my items I contacted the H D on W Flagler Ave in Miami.
The orders go thru the Pro desk You give the Asssciate your Sku's. You may not be able to get all of your iems as I found that a H D in the North doesn't have the same in Miami these were basic items the had the same just a different Manuf.
4 H D has Company that all they do is prepare sgippments to the Carribean.
5 Wow international shipping and with shipper ID'd you pay no sales Taxes.
6 Shipping cost from my shipper for this shipment
Ocean Freight is figured @ 3.25 a cubic foot
Bill of Lading service 30.00
Documentation Fee $35.00
Insurance for this order was 27.33
Bunker service Charge $ 61.23 / this an additional charge when I asked the shipper what is this the Email said for fuel. I asked howit is derived at by weight or Volume no response to this
7 Arrival to the Isaland and then The govt. of Aruba get there cut
TAxes for a washer is let say 12% but the dryer is 22%. I am told that a dryer is looked at as a luxury item.
The the freight co will deliver for you for a fee or you can pick it up or have someone pick it up for you. If you have someone pick it up make sure there name is listed on the documentation.
This is what I have on Shippping.
