Barrel shipping, from collection to destination port
Sending household items to family or preparing for a move? Gilbert Link Shipping helps you arrange barrel shipments from the UK to Caribbean destinations. Start with your destination, number of barrels and collection postcode so we can identify the right service and sailing.
We collect nationwide. Collection within the M25 has a fixed fee; collection outside the M25 is quoted separately. Check the collection option in the calculator or ask our team before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you collect outside London?
Yes, nationwide collection is available. Supply your postcode, access details and number of barrels for a collection quote.
Is the empty barrel included?
Do not assume that packaging is included in the shipping price. Tell us whether you already have a barrel or need to buy one.
How long does a barrel take to arrive?
Timing depends on the destination and sailing. Collection-to-arrival time includes the wait before departure as well as the sea journey. Check our current sailing schedule; arrival dates are estimates.
Can I send anything in a barrel?
No. Acceptance and destination restrictions vary. Give us a contents list and ask about liquids, food, batteries, medicines and other restricted items before packing. Customs charges are assessed separately where applicable.
