Why do you need my invoice?
Because we clear US Customs for you, we need your invoice before the item leaves our Florida warehouse headed for St. Croix. Send your email to invoice@vicargo.com (type you full name and phone number on the subject line).
What if I'm shipping my own used goods?
We still need to clear your used items with Customs and Excise tax offices. If you are shipping used items already owned by yourself in the States, we will need a signed complete inventory list from you of your items, so we can clear them for you. If you ship a mix of used and new items, we need invoices or receipts for the new items and a signed memo listing the used items. For used goods you will need to email the following forms to invoice@vicargo.com

Do you ships large items?
We usually load 40′ long containers each week. If you have something even larger, call us and we can make arrangements to ship them. We can ship other large items and whole containers for you, please visit our Full Container section.
How often do you ship?
We ship from our Florida warehouse to our St. Croix warehouse weekly. However, motor vehicles take 2-4 weeks. Items received by Tuesday at 4:30PM usually will be ready to be picked up the following midweek. It helps to speed the process if you make sure to send an email with an invoice for your items to invoice@vicargo.com (type you full name and phone number on the subject line). We need the invoice to clear US Customs and VI Excise tax offices. Until Customs and Excise offices clear your paperwork, we are not allowed to release your goods.
This does not apply to vehicles. See vehicles section.
