What is the cheapest way to ship to the Caribbean from Canada?
The cheapest way for individuals to ship small packages and personal items is usually via Canada Post surface. For heavy household goods, many choose ocean barrel services. Both methods can take months to deliver. For shipping heavier parcels for delivery in around a week, shipping via a commercial carrier (FedEx, UPS, DHL) can be a good option. A larger discount is often possible when using one of their partners (including Jet).
