Does anyone have any experience shipping a full container (either 20 or 40) from San Juan to STX? Especially via "water spirit"?

We are doing a remodel on STX and need a ton of things like building supplies, furntiure, cabinets etc.... and are deciding between expense from buying and shipping from Florida or buying and shipping from San Juan.

THANKS

Flemmings owns Water Spirit and they have drivers in San Juan as well as on STX, so they can pick up your purchases on San Juan and ultimately get them to you on STX without you having to use multiple shipping companies. Call them directly for more info and prices.

You also should consider the Home Depot on STT.

They charge a flat rate of $75 to palletize and deliver any size order to the barge dock in STT. You pick up your order at Gallows Bay on STX. You pay the freight which is approx $50 for the first pallet and $40 for the next. You would have to talk to them about the rate for a full container. Fleming might be able to help you with that.

No duties or taxes to pay as this is an inter island sale.
