Can you receive amazon or fedex packages in the Bahamas ?

The simple answer is yes. Fedex & UIPS & DHL all ship and deliver here. Some people also have PO Boxes in the US (Florida specifically) with forwarding services to businesses here, such as Blue Postal, Post Boxes, etc.

Aside from these "regular" services, there are many freight forwarders, via Marine and Air, that can forward mail, as well as small or large packages.

Yes indeed. Especially on the larger commercial islands On New Providence Island there is a DHL office near Government House, 3 FedEx shipping centers, and one UPS shipping office. You ship to them under your name and they call you when package arrives. Local Post Office Boxes can be rented from the Bahamian Post Office. But I personally never ship/send using the combination of the US Post Office and The Bahamian Post Office. On the Family Islands, it is not so straightforward but still doable. You must find the “local guy” who handles the shipments. They act like a freight forwarder. You must arrange ahead of time. They will have an address in i.e. Nassau. When they receive a package for you, they put it on a small plane that hops it over to their counterpart on the Family Island. Then the local guy will call you to pick up. This extra plane hop usually costs $20.
