When you look for door-to-door shipping to Venezuela, what you want is simple: drop off your box in Miami and have it arrive at your family’s home without anyone having to go pick it up. At Next Day Cargo we’ve been doing exactly that for 35 years, since the company was founded in Miami in 1992. This guide explains what “door to door” really means, what it includes, what costs extra and how the process works from start to finish.
What does “door to door” mean?
A door-to-door shipment is one where the shipping company takes care of your cargo from the moment it receives it in Miami until it delivers it to the address you gave in Venezuela. The recipient doesn’t have to pick anything up at an office or deal with the port or airport: the package arrives at their door.
At Next Day Cargo, our staff handles your cargo from the moment we receive your request until it’s delivered to its final destination. We prepare the export documentation and coordinate the trip, whether by air or by sea. We don’t offer pickup of merchandise at our offices in Venezuela: the idea is for your shipment to reach the destination address.

How door-to-door shipping works, step by step
1. Register the recipient in Venezuela
Before your merchandise reaches our warehouse, register the person who will receive it, free of charge, in our Customer Registration. That way we can identify your box as soon as it arrives.
2. Get your box to our Miami warehouse
Our warehouse is at 8805 NW 35th Lane, Miami, FL 33172. You can bring your box, send it with UPS, FedEx or USPS, or shop online and use our address as the delivery address. Always use the name of the person receiving in Venezuela, not the name of our staff. If you can’t bring it, we pick it up anywhere in the United States at an additional cost.
3. Get the notification and send your invoice
When the package arrives, our system sends you an automatic email. To process the shipment we need a copy of the invoice or purchase receipt.
4. Choose air or ocean and pay
We send you the quote and you choose the method. Shipments are prepaid, and you can pay in US dollars, in bolívares or a combination of both. Since the exchange rate changes daily, if you don’t pay on the day of the quote, ask for an updated rate.
5. Departure, tracking and delivery
Your cargo leaves Miami on Friday and you can follow it with our package tracking until it reaches the destination door.
Door to door by air or ocean: transit times
Both methods leave Miami every Friday and both include door-to-door delivery. The difference is the time and how it’s charged:
| Air | Ocean | |
|---|---|---|
| Departure from Miami | Friday | Friday |
| Estimated time | 3 to 4 business days | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Charged by | The greater of actual weight and volumetric weight | Volume, in cubic feet |
| Best for | Urgent items and small boxes | Large or heavy boxes, appliances, furniture |
To leave on a Friday, your merchandise must be at our warehouse at least one day before. Times are estimates and can vary depending on the customs situation; if you have an important date, ask us for the current delivery time.
Deliveries in Caracas and the interior
In the Caracas Metropolitan Area we deliver door to door at the address you give us. If your shipment is going to the interior of the country, we contact you to coordinate delivery through a domestic transport company or a person with an address in Caracas. The leg from Caracas to the interior has an additional cost, paid to that transport company. If your family lives outside Caracas, tell us the city when you request your quote and we’ll explain how it gets there.
Online purchases delivered to the door
Door-to-door service isn’t only for boxes packed at home. Our Miami address works as your mailbox: you shop on Amazon or other US stores, the store delivers to our warehouse and we take it to Venezuela. When you use our Miami address for your Amazon purchases, you save 7% in taxes, because the purchase is delivered to our Miami warehouse. We explain it in detail in how to buy on Amazon and receive in Venezuela.
If you make several purchases, we can hold them until they all arrive (you get 2 weeks of free storage) and repack them into a single box to reduce the volume. Repackaging has an additional cost and we only do it with your authorization.
Tips for a smooth door-to-door shipment
- Complete address in Venezuela: include landmarks and a contact phone number for the recipient.
- Correct name on the box: the registered person receiving in Venezuela.
- Invoice ready: send us the copy as soon as you get the arrival notification.
- Plan around Friday: if you want it to leave this week, your box must be at our warehouse by Thursday at the latest.
- Ask about insurance: its terms depend on the type of service, so ask us for details when you get a quote.
