Unless you plan to move with only what fits in your suitcase
you will find moving your personal and household items here to be
one of your biggest projects. Below you
will find some ideas to get you started on how to move your things
to the islands with you!
Shipping Large Items:
The least expensive way to ship a large quantity of items,
perhaps your entire household and car(s),
is by ship using a moving company. Items
must be packed in crates and delivered by you
or a moving company. Most large moving companies have
agents in the U.S.V.I., call your local movers
to find out if they have contacts in the U.S.V.I that would
facilitate your move. You must then hire a trucker
or moving/storage company locally to pick up your crates
and deliver them to your home or store them
until you arrive. St. John residents should take note that
the trucker must additionally take your crates over on
a barge and to St. John. It is a good
idea to call around and get estimates.

Tip for Seasonal Mover/Temporary
Resident:
If the islands are not a permanent home for you, don’t
bring too many expensive and valuable items. Antique furniture can
be turned to dust by termites; delicate furnishings can be covered
in mildew if you are living in wetter areas or close to the sea.
Hurricanes also can destroy items. So carefully consider what
things you need and want to move with you, what things you could
sell in a yard sale and others that you’d rather let a close
family member hold on to it for you until you are certain you’ll
be staying in the islands for a long time.
Small Items Only:
If your items are small in nature and can be packed in
boxes consider the US postal system your friend! Pack your items
in boxes, no more then 70 pounds each, as this is the standard
maximum accepted as far as weight goes. Delivery can take
several weeks. Take a trip down to your local post office to
inquire about weights, box sizes, and cost of postage.
Other Suggestion:
Another option is to contact airlines that service the U.S.V.I and
see if airfreight is a option.
Large items and fragile items should be packed
professionally and shipped professionally. Smaller items can be
packed personally and shipped by postal service or brought down
with you in luggage. Back to the
