Jamaicans are welcoming the opportunity to send groceries to Jamaica without having to pack a barrel. The ease and convenience of a new service from GraceKennedy Financial Service Centre – Caribbean Outpost has customers traveling from Homestead to the store in Lauderdale Lakes.
According to Donna Gayle, Caribbean Outpost, store mangaer, “The usual ritual of purchasing a barrel, taking months at a time to pack it, ship and clear it at a high cost then having family and friends travel to the wharf in Jamaica, can be alleviated with one visit to this location.”
Visitors to Caribbean Outpost use a catalogue to select the items they are desirous of sending. Their list is sent to the SuperPlus supermarket closest to their family and friends in Jamaica. SuperPlus calls within 24 hours and recepients are able to pick-up their groceries.
“One advantage of using this service is that customers have the opportunity to select dairy products and meats that they would not be able to send in a barrel. Customers can also purchase a voucher for a set amount and their loved ones may shop at the SuperPlus supermarket for the equivalent of the money in Jamaica,” Gayle says.
Caribbean Outpost is described by its patrons as a one stop convenient shop that offers fast, efficient reliable services that not only supports their need of taking care of their personal businesses in their homelands, but also their everyday lives with other services such as, check cashing, pay day advance, bill payment – USA & Jamaica, Western Union money transfer, bus passes, notary service, sprint phones, auto tags, titles and more.
