Hi fellow canadians (and cousins too)

Can someone assist with dropping off a small light package of zipper pulls for my friend's boat?

Drop off in Antigua or Sxm is the goal.

Shipping will be arranged from ykk zipper supplier (so abs no funny business guaranteed) to you to drop off on island in the coming weeks.

Its hugely $$ to anu ($100-180) for a package weighing about 1 pound and costing 2$.

Thx for any ideas or help. Fedex and dhl already explored, btw.

If you can't find someone flying, try shipping to SXM from the USA can be done very cheaply and quickly using either Four Star Cargo or Tropical Shipping. Ship the item to their Miami address, then they forward to SXM via either ship or air. A box of zippers via air freight will take about 2-3 days (I believe 4Star has 2 flights a week) with pickup at the airport. Cost will most likely be less than $10 all in. Shipping to ANU is outrageous.

This is the solution....thx.

It's the zipper pulls and ends only which surprised me at the cost.

And now with your info it's a reasonable timeline and fee.

Blessings
