Shipping to Turks & Caicos from the United States
In order to truly make your new house a home in Turks and Caicos, it’s important for you to love your furniture. If you’re just not finding what you want at the interior design and home furnishings stores on the islands, you can always have it shipped from the United States.
If your move to Turks and Caicos is permanent and you want to have your existing furniture shipped to the islands, you can hire a company like Navis Pack & Ship. It doesn’t matter if it’s one item or a dozen; Navis will provide the transportation and walk you through the paperwork process.
If you would rather buy new furniture for your home, many major retailers in the United States ship to Turks and Caicos; including stores like Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel. There are also interior decorators in the United States like Allen & James who will acquire American-made furniture and have it shipped to Turks and Caicos.
If you want to buy furniture from a store that doesn’t ship internationally, you still have options! Websites like ReShip.com allow you to buy products like furniture from stores in the United States and have them forwarded to you from a U.S. address.
Turks & Caicos Fully Furnished Home Buying Guide
Many of our Turks and Caicos properties are available fully furnished. These “turnkey” properties are sold ready to move in, offering a myriad of additional benefits for buyers.
These homes have been thoughtfully furnished with details that unite the interior of the home, adding to its character and feel. These details complement each individual room while also contributing to the entire home by maintaining color schemes and personality, offering a flowing, comfortable and harmonious appearance.
Fully furnished properties are especially beneficial for international buyers and those who are purchasing a secondary or vacation home. Furnishings take away the stress and hassles of moving. Instead of paying and waiting for large shipping containers to arrive, or spending your first days in Turks and Caicos hunting for all the possessions you’ll need to build a home, you can instead enjoy the island activities and get to know your new home.
All-inclusive property investments may comprise more than furniture. Additional items include small appliances (hair dryers, toasters, or microwaves), towels, bed and dining linens, toiletries, drapery, cookware, dinnerware or glassware.
In many instances, furnishings that are included with the home are handled in a separate transaction. Furnishings may need to be cataloged and itemized, and often are not included in the appraisal of the property. Many lenders for mortgages or other home loans often do not include furnishings, but may be able to offer a separate loan for purchasing artwork or other more expensive items which makes a separate transaction more beneficial.
If you are planning to purchase an undeveloped property and build the Caribbean island home of your dreams, you have many options to decorate and furnish your new home. There are many interior decorators, designers and furniture stores here in Turks and Caicos including Island Furniture and Design which carries art, top name furniture designers and small appliances. They furnished several of our listed properties including Delancy House.
