Heres a note from Jason and San Juan Airlines –
Hello Stuart Islanders!
We’ve had a great response to the “fresh groceries from Bellingham” delivery program . Sign ups are complete, and we are ready to start the service. Here are all the details.
Delivery dates will be listed after I gauge the interest.
To keep this economical and predictable for everyone, we’re setting this up as a subscription service, with a 5 month commitment. The payment schedule is also detailed below. Our first delivery will be in June, and our last delivery will be in September (actual date TBD) We will contact everyone to determine if the group wants to continue service after the pre-determined cut off date.
Your grocery order needs to be delivered to our address below, between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on designated delivery dates (TBD).

Important Details – Please Read Carefully!
- We will deliver the groceries to the Mail Shack at Stuart Island East on the designated days.
- Please be at the shed at 3:20 PM for pickup. We’ll send you a notification if for some reason we’re going to be more than 15 minutes late (I’ll need your cell phone number if you want to be included on those notifications).
- You are allowed up to 75 lbs per load. When you make your order, the cart will give you a total weight of groceries – please pay attention to this. We will have room for a little overage collectively, but not too much. Charges may apply to overages based on bulk, space, and your needs.
- We will call you if there are issues with the load to determine how to best handle your freight delivery needs.
- In the case where there are overages that we cannot fit on the airplane due to weight or bulk, and we cannot get ahold of you on delivery day, we will prioritize perishables and cold storage items.
- Any items either too large to fit into the plane on the designated day, or overages will be delivered opportunistically to Stuart Island with the UPS delivery.
- To save space in the airplane, and maximize loads, we will be using re-usable totes to pack the groceries. You will need to bring your own bags, boxes, or other containers to get them back to your residence from the mail shed.
- If for some reason we need to delay your delivery from Bellingham to Stuart, we will contact you with an updated schedule.
We’re looking forward to seeing all of you!
Many thanks,
Jason Douglass
