Inter-Island Shipping
Many sellers ship between islands. Listings should include origin island, destination coverage, and shipping cost estimates. Delivery speed depends on ferry and air cargo schedules.
- Common inter-island transit: 2 to 7 business days
- Remote island routes may take longer during weather disruptions
- Buyers should confirm destination island before checkout
Local Pickup
Some listings offer local pickup in Nassau, Freeport, and other major settlements. Pickup terms are set by the seller and must be agreed in chat before meeting.
- Meet in a public, well-lit location
- Inspect the item before confirming completion
- Use Shoal messaging to keep a record of arrangements
Carriers Used In The Bahamas
Sellers commonly use Bahamian carriers and regional couriers. Carrier choice may vary by island and package size.
- Bahamas Ferries and mail boat routes for inter-island transport
- DHL, FedEx, and UPS for eligible express shipments
- Local courier services for same-island delivery
Delivery Times And Tracking
Delivery windows are estimates. Weather, holidays, and port schedules can affect timing.
- Same-island courier: often 1 to 2 business days
- Inter-island standard: usually 2 to 7 business days
- Trackable shipments should include a tracking number from the seller
