We need to ship a number of boxes of new stuff for our boat (new linens, blankets, towels, galley supplies etc). The most practical method I've been able to find so far is shipping to St. Thomas via USPS for general delivery (pick up at post office). Then either ferry over to Tortola OR take our boat to Red Hook and load up there. Thoughts, recommendations, suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.

House is a terrific home store on the left as you go toward the Moorings (across from Steakation). They have lots of kitchen stuff, including salad dressings. They have furniture and bed linen, candles, gifts, etc. They will special order for you. Lovely people to deal with. Another good option is Arawak in Road Reef. No Pottery Barn or IKEA in the VIs. There are Ikeas in Puerto Rico, which are a division of their Spanish company. I will confess to shopping at IKEA and Costco and chartering a plane back to the BVI.

There are other stores in the BVI, but local tastes may not be the same as yours. There is precious little Sunbrella available on island, so better to buy from Seattle Fabrics or somewhere and carry it down.

Ratman has long since resigned himself to my hobbies of cooking, baking, tablescaping and home decor. We donate the old stuff to the Red Cross shop.

I have used Island Bargains to ship from Florida to Tortola. I shipped a refrigerator, washer, dryer, and a large planer. They handled everything including customs and the cost was very reasonable.
