WebstaurantStore to The Bahamas: Restaurant and Bar Supply
For food-service businesses in The Bahamas, WebstaurantStore is usually the cheapest route to equipment, smallwares and disposables. The trick is treating it as a freight purchase, not a parcel purchase.
| What you are buying | Mode | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Smallwares, utensils, uniforms, menus | Air | $1.00 per lb, $10.00 minimum |
| Disposables, packaging, paper | Ocean | $200.00 half pallet / $350.00 full pallet |
| Refrigeration, ranges, prep tables, sinks | Ocean | Pallet, crated |
Because we bill **actual weight only**, bulky-but-light disposables (cups, clamshells, napkins) are unusually cheap to bring in.
## How to order
1. [Open a free account](/auth/signup) and use your Fort Lauderdale warehouse address with your account number.
2. For freight-truck items, order early, LTL delivery to our warehouse takes longer than parcel.
3. Upload your WebstaurantStore invoice into your portal so Customs values the shipment correctly.
4. Ask us to consolidate a monthly restock into a single pallet, one entry, one processing fee.
## Budgeting the landed cost
Equipment duty varies widely, so build the estimate as: goods + freight + duty (0–60%) + 10% VAT on landed value + customs processing fee. See the [cost breakdown](/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-ship-to-the-bahamas-2026).
## Restocking on a rhythm
Most of our food-service clients settle into a monthly pallet for consumables plus occasional air shipments for urgent replacements. That keeps freight per unit low and avoids emergency courier charges.
