Shipping questions

If shipping from the states, like NY NJ Pa any of those places there are all kinds of shippers at pretty good prices, The blue barrels are used because they are reusable here in the DR. Don’t even think of using a company like EPS, that’s for small stuff. Their prices per lb will kill you. I believe prices run from $95 to $125 per box, a pretty decent sized one too, weight does not matter.don’t believe there is limit either. Retired in 2020, must of sent about 8 boxes gym equipment, and a piece of furniture.

Hello. Regarding question #2, depending on how much books/clothes you are bringing, just buying a really large suitcase may work.  United allows you to also check in a box, if you go to their site it tells you the dimensions.  I’ve don’t this several times.  Aside from this if you are in NY/NJ area, like the other person mentioned there are several options to use that are cost effective.  I personally use Luciano Shipping because they do pick ups from my home.  I also have a BMCargo account.  Hope this helps

A Mudanza is a shipping company. That word is used a lot too indicate Dominican republic companies. They will do barrels, appliances, boxes etc door to door depending where you are currently located. Most of the time it includes clearing customs (Aduanas) here. Try them first.

If you search other threads you will find recommended companies, again depending where you are.
