Volume-based pricing
US$15 / cu ft
Sea freight is based on volume, not weight, making it ideal for heavy or bulky shipments.
Minimum shipment
3 cu ft
Volume rounds up to the next whole cubic foot. The minimum base freight estimate is US$45.
Select Business in the calculator for volume pricing. The first pound is JMD $850; the applicable tier rate is charged for each additional pound. A shipment's freight price is capped at the price for the starting weight of any later tier, so crossing a tier never makes a heavier shipment cheaper.

Standard Protection: Every USA air and sea package includes free Standard Protection up to US$100 (J$16,000). A lower declared value limits the payout; partial losses are paid proportionately. No paid protection add-on is available. Read the protection terms.
Customs & other charges: Freight, Customs duties and taxes, if assessed, are separate. Confirm all charges before shipping; China shipments require a quote.
