Ocean freight from Canada to Perseverance, Seychelles
Perseverance is a district built on reclaimed land off Victoria, about 9 km from the Mahé warehouse where A1's price ends. Freight to the Seychelles is prepaid only. Sailings via Vancouver take about 77 days and are the cheapest, around USD 13 per cubic foot with a smallest shipment of USD 826.20; via Toronto or Montreal the transit is about 87 days. The receiver collects at the Mahé CFS or arranges a local truck to the home.
Many shipments here are household contents for families, along with tools and materials for tradespeople. Local delivery is not covered by the A1 quote, and neither are destination customs, duties or taxes. Personal effects need carrier approval and a signed packing list with a passport copy. Bring the cargo to our Canadian warehouse on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets, since A1 does not offer pickup. Allow for the long transit and confirm who will receive the goods on the island before booking. The carrier states the destination charges before anything is paid.
How a shipment to Perseverance works
Perseverance is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Mahe about 9 km (straight line) from Perseverance: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Mahe. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Perseverance with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
