Shipping to Belize: Have you had this experience?

I think I'm missing something about your question. I'm not certain where, exactly, your Canadian shippers are planning on shipping your contents to. I receive merchandise from the USA on a regular basis, to my home in Belize. There are a number of shippers that do this; I happen to use this one, which ships out of several US ports: belizeanqueenfreight.com Your contents have to be sent to one of their shipping ports, and they'll be sent to your intended address, as long as you let the shipper know what that is.

I remember the people at HomeDepot thought Belize was in Canada

when I told them it's South of Mexico

they then understood Belize was in New Mexico

the problem must be at your end ...

already sending a normal letter with Belize post

or the better service called EMS is already impossible

I have waited 8 months for the arrival of a DHL envelope from China

which I had to pick up my self at the Customs  office of Belize Goldson airport

I had to "donate" Bz$ 100.- for the release of just an envelope

then when items arrive damaged -

- nobody cares no matter how much insurance you have paid for

I will be sending 2 containers of furniture to Belize.  We have been accepted to the QRP program and was assuming that the furniture would be free of duty and tax.  I now understand that new items will not count toward QRP and that it will be up to customs to decide what is charged duty and what is not.  Does anyone have experience with this?  How do I plan for will be charged and what won't,  even if I get an exception letter from the QRP program.
