Welcome To Post Boxes Etc

A new government regulation requires that each box holder(every name on the box) must sign a Customs C.44 form and return the completed form to your Postboxes Etc Customer Representative.

• As with any company using airplanes, ships or trucks to transport things from one place to another, space and weight are always a great consideration. Some items may take up a lot of space but weigh very little while others take up very little space but weigh a lot. Due to this, please be advised that the freight rate that you are charged for each package is the greater of the actual weight (lbs) or dimensional weight produced by the following formula:
  
  Dimensional weight = Length (in) X Width (in) X Height (in) / 166
• Remember to ensure that your PMB/Slot number is on ALL packages and mail sent through Post Boxes Etc. We have many customers with the same name, so having the correct PMB/Slot number on each package is vital to ensuring that your mail gets to you.

• Please make sure to pick up your mail and packages as soon as possible after they arrive at your PBE branch.
• If you have not done so already, please update your email address with us. Having a valid email address on your account means that we can serve you better.
• All perishable goods MUST be shipped using our Next Day service. Also, please contact us at least a day in advance to find out whether we can accommodate your perishable shipment before bringing it to our warehouse in Fort Lauderdale.
• Please be advised that storage fees of one dollar per day will be assessed on all No-Docs packages that we have in our possession for more than 14 days.
• We encourage you to use our online package tracking feature for locating your shipments. It will save you and us time.

As you may already know, Bahamas Customs has recently revised its duty rate on many items and categories. Some items now carry a lower rate, while others have increased. The changes are already in effect, and as such, you will notice that the charges for items that you normally purchase will have changed. Please click on the following link for a detailed list of the new rates. New Duty Rates

Effective immediately: packages can only be 'express' if the item/items are still in transit to the Fort Lauderdale location. Once an item arrives at the warehouse, express service for that item can no longer be achieved. Also, a copy of the invoice and tracking information is required to expedite next day delivery service. The cost of next day service is $35.00 + $1.50 per pound (actual or dimensional weight).

Regular shipments are processed and delivered within 3-5 working days assuming invoices are included with the items.

Please do not use ‘Post Boxes Etc’ or ‘Nine To Five’ in the shipping address of items that you order as this will only cause delays in getting packages to you.

Requests for the removal of persons from postboxes must be submitted in writing. It is also mandatory that both persons, the person requesting the removal and the person being removed, sign the request letter. This is required because according to our contract, all persons on a box have equal ownership and therefore any decisions relating to the relevant box must be agreed upon by all persons on the contract.
