Items must be at our Miami Warehouse by Monday at 2:00 pm on the week of sailing. Our team will do the drop-off on Wednesday, in time for Thursday’s departure.

We handle clearing and delivery.

Other couriers just handle clearance and their customers are responsible for transportation. We take care of both for you.

We deliver to anywhere in T&T

While some items may not fit in our standard delivery vehicles, we can secure one to transport them for you. If this is the case, we will contact you before your items leave our Florida Warehouse.

Online Shipping Rates

Your membership account is free and there are no monthly or annual fees. Ocean freight rates start at $4.25USD per cube or cubic feet (12” x 12” x 12”) excluding duty and vat fees and an additional fee if a larger vehicle is required for delivery. If your item meets the weight requirement but not the size, you will be required to pay for 5 cubes. UEI will make exceptions if an item is less than or more than 75lbs but does not exceed 5 cubes. Standard vehicle deliveries throughout Trinidad are free. Deliveries to Tobago will cost an additional $15TTD per package to cover inter-island shipping expenses.
