A barrel or box shipped from the US or Canada takes roughly 3 to 6 weeks from the day you drop it off to the day your family collects it — sea time, port time, customs, and the last road. Boxes by air courier are faster, around a week or more, and cost far more per pound.
Food bought inside Haiti skips the ocean entirely. A distributor prepares the package in your family's city and they pick it up — a matter of days, set by the city's weekly rhythm, not by a ship's schedule.
The biggest seller in this field promises delivery in Port-au-Prince within 48 hours, with no published list of which zones that covers or what happens when it slips. A promise with no map and no refund rule is a headline, not a schedule. Our city pages will publish each city's real pickup days when it opens.
Speed you can print is speed a local distributor can keep. That is why ordering opens one city at a time — Cap-Haïtien, Les Cayes, Jacmel, Petit-Goâve — each with its own distributor and its own honest timetable.
Buying it in their city. Nothing beats goods that never travel: prepared locally, picked up in days, with proof.
We don't deliver to homes — anywhere, Port-au-Prince included. In the four cities we open in, your family picks the goods up at the partner store, with ID, and you receive the proof of that handover. Port-au-Prince is not one of the four yet; it joins the map only when a distributor there can keep the proof standard.
Tell us on WhatsApp or by email — if your family's city is one of the four, we will tell you plainly what the fastest real option is, even before ordering opens.
