We charge $30 (St. Maarten: USD $10) per pound and $10 (St. Maarten: USD $5) handling for this service. We get it to our address in the US and it can be picked up by FedEx, UPS, the US Postal Service, or DHL if you have supplied a paid shipping label. If not, there will be an extra fee for shipping to the destination depending on that location and weight of your package and how quickly you need it there.
At this moment we only ship packages/documents to and from the US

Insurance at a rate of $1.00 (St. Maarten: $1 USD), is automatically applied to every package valued up to $100 USD.
Insurance of $5 (St. Maarten: $5 USD) is automatically applied to all TELEVISIONS BEING SHIPPED VIA SEA.
If customers require additional insurance beyond the USD$100 value, this would be applied at the same rate and must be pre-alerted at least 24 hours before the package is delivered to our US warehouse.

We aim for five flights a week. Packages are tendered for shipment the day it’s been received at our US warehouse or the day after. There will be times, however, when our cargo is not shipped on the day it is tendered. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, this will always be outside of our reasonable control.
Once all accurate invoices are submitted to us you should be able to pick up your package within one to two business days after it is cleared from Customs (where applicable).

For the majority of packages, we use a regular scale to calculate the weight. According to industry standards packages are round upwards to the nearest pound. E. g a package weighing 2.3 pounds will be round upwards to 3 pounds and will incur a 3-pound charge.
For those packages with significant dimensions, for example one dimension is greater than 24 inches, we multiply the length by the width by the height, all in inches, and then we divide by 166 to get the chargeable weight in pounds. This is a standard formula used by all shipping companies.

By default, we use air freight for all of our packages. If you are interested in sea freight, ship to the same address then, notify us at least 24 hours before the package is received at our US Warehouse, that you would like it shipped via Sea. It usually takes approximately two weeks for sea freight packages to be delivered after arriving at our warehouse.

We no longer offer a consolidation service, what we offer are box promos, with our smallest box size being 20X20X20. For more info on our box promos see here https://westtechshipping.com/advisory_board/shop-pack-n-ship-box-promotion/

Packages containing, liquids, lithium or hazardous materials will be shipped via a special flight or via sea freight.   Our special flight departs the US every Tuesday and your package should be made available for pick up in one to two business days once we are in receipt of your invoice.
