Holo Compadres,
My husband and I are moving from Atlanta, GA to Vieques, PR and I am looking for a good moving company. Has anyone had a good experience shipping their household goods from the US to PR? If so, can you please tell me what company you used?
Thank you!

Can't help you with moving company but would like to make you aware of the following:
1. When shipping a car from US to PR there is an import tax that is approximately 33% of the value of the car. The value is pre-determined by the vin number. So if you have a car that is worth $60,000 (book value) you will be paying a $20,000 when it arrives.
2. Also, please note that the roads here are not in the best of shape. Many, many potholes. So forget about bringing any vehicle with low profile Z rated tires. You will end up buying new tires and rims on a weekly basis.
