ABOUT DREXCO
Welcome to the prime source of genuine Caribbean Crafts, combining hand-made traditional craftsmanship with modern management. We pride ourselves on our service, and on our quality.  If you want a copy of our color printed In-Stock Catalog please send an email to regi@drexco.com with the address you want us to mail it to.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Recycling is the word: our steel art is made from recycled drums; and the paper-maché from used cement bags. Most other ingredients (starch, paints…) are produced locally, except the wood – deforestation is an acute problem in Haiti. The colors are guaranteed lead-free as per US standards. Manufacturers’ certificates will be supplied on demand. We also do custom work.

CHOOSING A SHIPPING MODE; COMPUTING COSTS
SHIPPING IS NO PROBLEM

For orders above $750, in most cases, the best way to ship is by Air Freight.  The air cargo company Amerijet serves Haiti, and delivers to the Caribbean, the US and Europe.  There are also other carriers like Air Haiti, American Airlines, Air France and ALM. The rates per lb vary between $ .28 (Air Haiti to Miami), $ .60 to .80 (Continental US and Canada), $ .35 to .90 (Caribbean Islands) and $ 1.00 to 1.30 (Europe). Compared to the value of our goods, the cost of shipping airfreight adds between 5% and 15% to the bill. For light-density cargo, like paper maché, airlines (but not Air Haiti) apply a Volume-to-Weight conversion formula that can add to the cost.

These estimates apply to large shipments. For shipments below $500, the minimum charges and the fixed charges (like AWB costs, Fuel surcharge, Brokerage etc) start costing more than the proportional costs per lb; we then recommend EMS (Express Mail Service).

EMS, a Postal Union courier, delivers parcels from Haiti to anywhere in the world in 7 days or less at a cost amounting to about one third of the value of our goods in most cases, which is less than FEDEX or UPS. That cost is competitive with the cost of air cargo for small shipments. An added advantage is that it is delivered not to an airport, but to a Post Office close to home, and that no broker is needed. EMS applies no Volume-to-Weight surcharge.

Upon request, Drexco will supply comparative estimates of Air Cargo (indicate the airport of your choice) vs. EMS.
