Funny... UPS quotes Bonaire as possible destination, but not as place or origin... You might ask them though...

Joanie,

FedEx or Post N.A. (the national postal carrier) are the only practical ways to ship boxes off Bonaire. Boat Freight is wicked expensive and may take months (but Rocargo, listed above as the FedEx agent, can explain this to you).

One other option is to have some kindly tourist/friend bring the boxes back from Bonaire, but they would then have to have complete access to all the contents to make sure you're not asking them to smuggle problematic substances.

Recently I have had some luck with UPS. Also Air Freight from at Flamingo Airport. As Jake did mention, however, Fed X is most reliable.
