Trinidad & Tobago: Ocean Freight Forwarding Suggestions:

I'm currently living Trinidad, and looking to occasionally ship online purchases, both big and small (electronics, TVs, computers, appliances, furniture) from the US to Trinidad. I've already found two Air Freight Forwarders (www.getezone.com & www.jetboxinternational.com), but these are quite pricey. Has anyone has experience with an ocean freight forwarder? I found a couple websites that do this, but none have rates posted, and I can't find any customer reviews. If I can find a trustworthy & reliable ocean freight forwarder, I'd rather save on shipping cost and wait an extra week or two to get my items. Any guidance or reviews would be greatly appreciated!

Trinidad & Tobago: Electrical Items from UK:

A minor correction: Trinidad's voltage is actually 115V @ 60 Hz. (Wikipedia link here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country). Before buying a bunch of inverters, check the fine print on the back of your electronics. Many modern power supplies can handle a wide range of voltage and frequency. For instance, my laptop charger says "100-240V, 50-60 Hz". So, that would work in both Trinidad & the UK.
