Yes, of course! We transport everything from small envelopes to furniture & appliances. Keep in mind that cargo space for larger items can be limited, so delivery times may vary.
Absolutely. Our insurance covers up to $100 per parcel & additional insurance is available for higher valued items. Please request an insurance form if you wish to purchase additional coverage.
Tropic Consolidators currently offers one-way (southbound) service, shipping to Roatan from the US.
While we understand that our name might lead you to think so, package consolidation services (combining each customer’s smaller packages into a single larger package) are not offered. We’re a cargo & parcel service that operates via shipment consolidation, meaning we consolidate all of the packages received at our Florida warehouse into a single weekly shipment bound for the island. When available, we recommend setting your delivery preferences to fewer packages when placing your order, in order to limit the number of parcel fees that apply for your shipment.
