The Bahamas, officially called the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, are a collection of more than three thousand islands, islets and cays in the Atlantic Ocean to the north of Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba. Although the Bahamas have strong connections with the United Kingdom after becoming a Crown Colony in 1718, they are now an independent, sovereign state, although they do share Queen Elizabeth II as their monarch. There is also a heavy American influence due to being just a short flight from Miami, Florida.

The prices to send a parcel to the Bahamas vary depending on the weight of the parcel, as well as the speed you want the parcel delivered in. Generally when shipping from the UK to the Caribbean the costs are very much the same due to the distance.
For the international parcel delivery of a box weighing around 1kg, the cheapest service would cost just £32.42 at the time of writing. This is via Parcel Monkey Air Express, a premium delivery service collected from your home or work in the UK, processed via a Freight Forwarder and then delivered in country by DHL.
For a more substantial parcel weighing 10kg the price would be approximately £66. For a much heavier parcel at 20kg you could expect to pay just over £100 for a three to four day service.
We also offer DHL Worldwide who are the quickest delivery service to the Bahamas with a transit time of 2-3 days and Asendia who offer a slower more economic product.

Country Information
The Bahamas are certainly one of the most financially rich nations in the Caribbean region, certainly more so than Cuba and Haiti to the south. Here the economy is heavily dependent on tourism for its income with approximately sixty per cent of the economy being dependent on visitors. Also of great importance is that of financial services which accounts for around fifteen per cent of its income due to their Governments light regulation of the financial services industries and attractive tax rates on corporations.
The Bahamas is another island that is iconic for its booming tourism trade. The Bahamas enjoys hot weather all year round with a variety of different cruise ships visiting the island weekly. However, the island is vulnerable to hurricanes which can be extremely dangerous in the summer and autumn. The national language in the Bahamas is English as the island did used to be in the British Colony. The island is located near Cuba and the USA, and provides many different Americans with a short break away with little distance to travel. The country deals in the Bahamian dollar with $1 converting into £0.62.
The economy in the Bahamas relies on tourism a lot. 60% of the country's GDP is in the tourism industry and more than half of the countries jobs are produced through tourism. The country also exports polystyrene which is also a big source of income for the island.

It would have been better if the Consignee had first phoned the number you had to check if/when anyone would present at the delivery address to receive the parcel since it was a private address.
Took three tries before the parcel was collected. The tracking at first said that it would be collected on Monday morning. Later on I got another email that told me it would be collected in Tuesday. Wasnt collected then either so I had to reschedule it. Driver was nice and customer support was fast and able. Ergo 3 stars. Would be great if you would have a number to call and that I wouldnt have to make an account to talk with your chat.
No issues and first class service transporting two bikes and a wheel to the mainland from Northern Ireland... only reason I marked it down a star is there is a lack of phone support which in my mind would rate the a 5 star plus company if it provided phone support!
Excellent service, parcel sent to Italy via Parcelforce was delivered in 4 days
Easy site to use. Found a fair price for a courier.
