Shipping questions.

How do I ship something to an island?

Ship it to your island address as usual. UPS, FedEx, and USPS packages come through us, and we fly them out at no extra charge. Freight dropped at our terminal is $0.75 a pound, with a $5 minimum. For Criehaven, use a Matinicus address.

Can you pick up my groceries?

Yes. Order pickup from Hannaford, Jesse’s Market, Good Tern, Walmart, or Shaw's for their scheduled day, mark it for PIA pickup and your island, and we'll collect it and fly it out. It's $15 per banana box. We have a commercial fridge and freezer for perishables, and we deliver all year.

How do I track a package?

Enter your tracking number on the track freight page. Every scan shows up there, with a photo at delivery. If you're on the mainland and it's arrived at our terminal, you can pick it up there.

Can you hold a package or keep medication cold?

Yes. Just ask. We'll hold packages until you're back, and refrigerate medication until it flies.

Do you have a laundry service?

Yes. Pick up a laundry bag from us and we'll put your name on it. When it's full, call us. We'll pick it up and take it to the laundromat.
