We aim to deliver anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago however there are certain areas of the country which may provide certain limitations or restrictions concerning our delivery efforts. Under this circumstance, we hold the rights to refuse delivery to such areas at our discretion, however we will contact the customer to make alternative arrangements if possible. In the event that we are unable to deliver to a certain area you will be notified.
Tobago Deliveries:
Deliveries to Tobago are sent via courier on the Inter-island Ferry Service. Our packages leave for Tobago every Tuesday and Thursday so it is recommended that you deliver packages prior to these days so that they can arrive to your Tobago customers in a timely manner.
Expedited shipping options do not apply to Tobago deliveries. Also if we are faced with any delays with the ferry service, this can cause an additional 1-3 days in the Tobago delivery.
There may be an additional surcharge for Tobago deliveries. This surcharge is necessary to cover freight and handling expenses on route from Trinidad to Tobago. These trips to Tobago are dependent on the availability of the Tobago ferries.
