Totally agree on the no note issue! Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to meet all if the ”checklist” items for shipping. We underestimated the Island requirements for shipping back to the US mainland and got to the dock with 7 ... Read More

@Jeffreyglenn5aHonestly, I would avoid the hassle of transport and buy on the Island. Your vehicle will have more ”value” on the Island, but it is unlikely you will see that money, as you will be paying the import fee, nor will you be ... Read More

We are officially taking the plunge and moving to vieques, we have 2 dogs, 1 is a 6 year old 70 pound pit boxer mix and the other is a year old 55 pound pit. I can't find anyone who is willing to ship them for us, none of the airlines accept their ...

Car titles by londonpride

How long does it take to get a PR title for an imported car after all the paperwork is done and you have the plates?

raynerro335
