Shopping Made Easy: A Caribbean Islander’s Guide to Figuring Out if Stores Deliver to Them

There’s good news for current and former residents of the Caribbean who buy online. A new, free resource is now available that makes it quick and easy to discover which stores and brands will deliver to each of the 16 Caribbean island nations.  

WhatShipsWherewhatsappImage taken from whatshipswhere.com is a free shopping discovery tool that clearly indicates whether a brand does- or does not- offer delivery to every country in the world. What Ships Where primarily focuses on fashion, beauty, and retail brands and currently catalogs nearly 1,000 stores that offer delivery to the Caribbean, including popular brands like Bloomingdale’s, Desigual, Macy’s, Lululemon, Shein, Revolve, Nike, Walmart, and Fenty Beauty. 

The genesis for this brand discovery platform was the frustration What Ships Where’s founders experienced while living in the Caribbean themselves. “Whether it was clothing, shoes, stuff for the house, kid’s toys, or cosmetics, you’d find something you wanted to order online, only to get to the checkout page and learn the company didn’t ship to the Caribbean. It was such a pain, and wished there was a site that organized what did deliver to our island, so we created What Ships Where,” say the brand’s founders. 

Making the site easy to use was key. Every country has their own page, and from there shoppers can narrow down by category to discover what baby brands, men’s clothing brands, fashion accessory brands, women’s clothing brands, cosmetic brands, and more deliver to them. What Ships Where also tracks the shipping destinations of popular department stores, home decor and kitchen brands, as well as shoes and clothing brands for babies and children, as well as maternity wear. Popular Caribbean pages include JamaicaHaitiCubaDominican RepublicTrinidad and TobagoPuerto Rico, and the Bahamas

Experts recommend that due to pandemic-related supply chain and shipping delays, shoppers begin their holiday shopping extra early this year to avoid disappointment. People living in South Florida- and beyond- can use What Ships Where to see if a favorite brand ships to their home country, then quickly place an order, making holiday shopping so much easier.  

Shoppers can also join the free email list to receive notifications about new stores and brands that deliver to the Caribbean, as well discounts, deals, and sale information for the most popular brands offering shipping to each island nation.
