What is the quickest way to ship to St. Martin? I need to send a very small vehicle part (O2 sensor) to a friend that needs it for his Canadian built Toyota SUV.

Is it something that someone visiting soon can deliver? If it is small, I think that should be easily done.

Thanks kim but I live in Canada.
Phustad, it is a really small part but asking someone to bring something into a country is a very big ask.

Ok, but if he lives on island he may have a mailing address via 4 star cargo or similiar where items get mailed to Miami then on to the island via cargo or plane. I was using Amazon as an example. I always ordering on Amazon and sending to the Miami address. Then they forward to the island. So if your friend has that set up it’s very quick - under 10 days. And if shipped to the port they deliver. Or if by plane you pick up by the airport. I just ordered 80.00 worth of “stuff” for my condo it costs under 16.00US to be delivered to my condo.

Thanks so much to everyone for the suggestions and insight. I’ve snail mailed a parcel to him in the past and I think it was probably at least 17 days.
George, that’s a very generous offer. Please check your messages. I rent this gentleman’s villa. Carol and a couple of others on this board can vouch for the recipient being on the up & up.

I shipped an 8X10 Fed Ex envelope to SXM from Queens NY with one sheet of paper in it and it cost me $75. Almost had a stroke!

@dcarol - I shipped 4 large solar panels via air freight from Florida to SXM for under $50 last year. And it only took 2 days.

Sorry to bring this one up again but just wanted to let the people know the timeframe to mail a small parcel to SXM (from Canada)
I chose Air Mail and the parcel was sent from Canada on September 23rd and it arrived on October 16th.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
